With a current topic of a certain distributor being ugly (they are) I thought about what distributors are kool, or have features that are kool. Show your spark makers or pics of such you think are inspiring. I'll start, this is from a 32 Auburn and of note is the wire cover. Yes, it's supposed to be there. Let's see em y'all. And yes I know there may be some other dist topics, but let's see em installed. Next...?
Nothing special to most here, but the crab cap on my 21-stud distributor saved me a TON of work...and I LOVE the way the wires are laid out. BTW...Who makes the best cloth-covered spark plug wires? I'll eventually be remaking these.
oh no, look at this thread, Makes me want to throw my stuff out and start over https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...do-a-show-your-ignition-parts-thread.1206911/
Since @brett4christ posted the only flathead Ford V8 ignition, I'll add a few of those and some others. Lincoln V12 converted to V8 by Bill Kenz. Pair of no tag W&H Ducoil converted Lincolns Jim Kurten converted Lincoln with Kurten-Harman & Collins tag, ca 1941-42 And a V8 divers helmet converted to Lincoln dual coil Late flathead Mercury Mallory Dual Point Kong Championship George Pounden Grand Prix mag Model A/B stuff, left to right, Mallory Aluminum Dual Point, Wico Magneto, Mallory Iron Single Point Neat Delco side drive dual ignition 4 cylinder setup Shelf-worn but NOS Ronco SBC mag Shelf-worn but NOS SBC Flamethrower 291 DeSoto Hemi W&H Ducoil Mallory Dual Point for Early Olds Mallory Dual Point for Hemi
I wouldn't necessarily call this "kool" but I'm kinda proud of this NOS Delco unit I bought years ago at the Eugene Swap meet for $75.00 complete, plug and play, new in the box.
