1939 pickup 1/2 ton Distributor

[Fech]

Hello,
I was told that the cam weight assembly of the distributor needs to be fixed.
Please let me know how to fix the cam "nut edges"; or where I can buy a new one.
Looks like also I will need the base for the contacts. Please see pics.

Contact Micheal Driskell at Thrid Gen Automotive. He will set you up with a rebuilt distributor, tested and ready to run, or just the parts. Either way.

I have boxes full of these parts , if ya just want the parts etc.....no charge just pay the shipping actual cost etc , let me know what exactly you need... cant do a complete for a month or so .......

Also i would change over to a 11A and use the individual contacts .....

As a note the parts in your photo aren’t 1939, they are from a 32-36 distributor. As Jim mentions upgrading to 11a internals is well worth it. You’d just need the 37-41 breaker plate, 11a shaft and weights and you’d need to remove the oil shield from the cast iron housing
