I heard the distributer works great, I call Kaiser once in a while to see if they got a 6 volt replacement. First Street has a nice setup for Ford model T's only thats's for 6 volt, so it might be coming..

In my case, I put off returning the steering gear and shaft, etc, to the wagon until it warms up.? Which it is doing.? I just can't get myself out to an unheated garage when it's under 50 degrees.? What a wimp.?? My friend the retired mechanic is advising that
I replace the distributor, the concern being that the plate where the points attach is excessively worn; needs bearings; the shaft is 180 degrees out, etc.? A new one will not be original, as far as I can tell, the one from the Jeepsterman does not use the
vacuum advance.? If I find a rebuilder, perhaps that's the way to go. Opinions welcome!
