Re: Crabb dist.setup pictures ??
Here is a link to VanPelts website. It shows the dist and plug wiring. The crab dist is the same as the stock '47 dist with the exception of the cap, cap clips and the rotor.

Are you wanting it original or just functional?

Sunshine, I'm not sure the issue. Run them as best as you can.

Here's a picture with wire ends. Note numbered wire outlets in order of firing. Cam (distributor) rotates counter clockwise looking at distributor from front. DD

Even the new caps have numbers. 4 looks a bit off.

Re: Crabb dist.setup pictures ??
I found the 90 degree end fittings work well. Mine has the truck pumps that have the belt further forward. Clearing the pulleys with straight terminals is tricky. 90 deg fittings let them run up and keep them out of the way.
