Re: Swapmeet Coils?
There are two different ones there ,one might be the early or late 32 you can see the special oilier on the front , It will fit 32 to 36 , David G would know

Re: Swapmeet Coils?
It's a fairly late '32 distributor that has been modified with a late '36 breaker plate and points and a '36 shaft and centrifugal weights.

42,
What David and JM say. That funky oiler and the lump on the front confirm it. It can be rescued , pretty valuable I'd say ! Charlie ny |

Re: Swapmeet Coils?
Separate postings or just keeping the photos in sequence rather than mixing them up would have been nice to help the elderly, such as me, from jumping to conclusions.
In any event, the three photos in your #7 posting are all of a fairly late '32 distributor. It is fairly rare and valuable. The breaker plate in it is the '34 and up version with the larger diameter points (which is a good idea). The '33-'36 distributor with the '36 innards in your initial photos is neither rare nor valuable. |

Re: Swapmeet Coils?
Here are some pictures of a '32 distributor that I had previously downloaded for my files. As DavidG and Charlie ny mention, this is a rare and valuable item. I recently saw one like this on an internet auction site for $1000.00 USD.
If you decide to take your distributors apart, as would be required for rebuild, please be very careful not to break the housings. If you want any suggestions on how to proceed with disassembly, just ask. The last few pictures posted here are of my 35 distributor completely dismantled for a rebuild. This will give you, or other folks who care to see this, all the parts and pieces layed out.

Re: Swapmeet Coils?
Thanks JM 35 Sedan , a picture says.... etc :-)
DavidG: I have updated my thread, and you where right there was one pic on Dist one in the Dist two pictures. I have updated the thread. And I own one 37-41 distributor that is is neither rare nor valuable. And one fairly late '32 distributor. It is fairly rare and valuable. Fordbarn is Awesome.
