How do you file the inner distributor cap contacts so they have the proper gap from the rotor? I assume its done through the opening where the coil mounts. But I haven't taken it apart yet.

All Right! I found the bolt at Third Gen. Where can I find 90 degree Female -4 JIC hose end and the straight hose end? My Oil filter has a Brake line fitting. Can I go from -4 hose to a brake line fitting? Thanks!

Tasty solution! Where did you get the hollow bolt at distributor? Is that a brake line bolt? Also: my '40 firetruck has the oil canister at the rear of head. Do I need to move it to the front to get the gravity drop.

Would a PCV affect a brake booster? I understand gas fumes are bad for the booster. Can I put a check valve in the booster's vacuum hose, which connects to the carb base?

I have a firetruck with a 99T engine number on the registration. The "T" denotes truck of 1 ton or larger, according to Van Pelt. But the list of numbers is for Cars. Is the frame number the same as engine number? Who is a good source for big truck parts?

IS there a thread with specs for a Dual master Cylinder conversion? Working on a 1941 Firetruck. Are the "New style" ebay 7" Dual Power Brake Booster Pedal Kit w/ Master Cylinder worth considering? Like this . . . https://www.ebay.com/itm/192854508250

What is the effect of not using a resistor? What does a resistor do? I heard that without a resistor the coil will overheat.

Who sells the correct resistor?

The "first nut" on the resistor is on the left. Correct? Is the fuse holder related to the resistor? I'm working on a 1941 firetruck for a volunteer fire department. Thank you.

V8Coopman It does not need to be grounded.
