H distributor plate marks - possibly for Dave WV


[ Expand ] [ View Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Return to Forum ]

Posted by Dave in CT on July 08, 2004 at 09:40:48 from (64.252.222.76):

The distributor shaft plate on my '47 gas-only H has the marks '8R' on it. This is the plate directly under the cam which is connected to the shaft that rotates. Based on an earlier post by Dave WV, I believe this means I have the wrong distributor - this distributor was for a gas start, deisel engine. Dave WV, if you're reading this, where did you find that information? Anyone else who has a gas-only distributor apart enough, or who remembers, what are the markings on your plate? Based on what Dave WV said earlier, they might be '22L' or '30L'. I don't know if these numbers represent distributor degrees or crankshaft degrees advance but I'd like to hear what folks see marked on their gas-only distributors.

Since a new shaft costs around $90 and since this distributor is very tight, I'm wondering if it's O.K. to just file out the hole in the plate that allows for max advance. Has anyone done this? I might be able to use the plate from a distributor with the appropriate advance as a template.
