Model A Mallory distributor, model K, type 13
Hello. Have a Mallory distributor, model K type 13. It is a dual point, mechanical advance, 4 cylinder model. There is a spring loaded, adjustable piston with a felt end(oiled), that rubs on the edge of the spinning lower plate that holds the two centrifugal weights. Does anyone know what this is for? Does it provide some "drag" on the plate, or what??? Thanks

Sounds like a vacuum brake as used on the V8 Dist. Does Dist. have a vacuum port?

Hello. Yes, there is a brass elbow that could be for vacuum. My only thought was some sort of brake. What is the function of this?? Thanks for getting back to me. - Mark
