I had the shift tower off the '39 trans in my car and I found the stud and ball on the end of the shift lever had some significant wear. The only replacement lever I could find was on ebay and no guaranty it was in better condition than the one I had. I understand you can weld it up and file...

Thanks KiWinUS, that's what I think. Looks homemade. No HC data plate or holes where it would have been mounted. Even if I found a HC rotor, no way it would mount on this. Definitely has a 4 lobe cam yet stock rotor?? I got this from Vern Tardel,it was not expensive

Recent addition to collection. Seller described it as "HC flathead distributor dual point conversion" however I think he may have meant Dual Coil Conversion. It is missing the expensive HC rotor and the HC spacer/second coil wire piece. It has a 4 lobe cam, but the stock crab cap and rotor...

Well that could be, I also understand the coils were used on hit/miss engines so maybe something to do with that. One thing for sure, because its been protected inside the box, the coil looks brand new.

Good info Bored&Stroked. I have been seeing lots of stories about the poor quality condensers available today, I actually ordered a couple from ThirdGen yesterday. I hope they are quality units. Where do you purchase the Vertex Mag ones? Vertex was the choice of magneto ignitions before MSD.

Just wanted to give credit to Fred at Southside Obsolete. I've made several purchases and the parts and service could'nt be better. Just received this "crab" distributor. I inquired about a rebuild-able one and Fred sent me a message suggesting this Ford rebuilt unit. Notice it has Ford...

What type of glue should I use to attach the leather to the plunger on a crab distributor

I used a 6 volt alternator concealed in a generator housing made by E J Whitney. It has the fan mounted to the generator, looks stock,works great. They offer several options, voltage, pos or neg ground etc. I've used it with both halogen and LED. LED is the way to go. EJ Whitney Company...

Ha! I would like to see the federal crash test video.
