    I have 33 with the 4-cylinder engine and the distributor is an Auto-Lite 1AD 4008 7Z. From what I can determine that was for a 1945 Willys Jeep. My question is will the tune up components for that distributor work for my 33? What is the new part numbers for the points, condenser, and rotor? Any other information would be greatly appreciated.

    It is in pretty sad shape, but hopefully I can make it better. Not doing a professional restoration, doing it on my own, little by little to make a driver out of it.

  7. Pretty complete. Just work on it to get and keep running then improve on drivability items.

    Thanks for the comments, I hope to be able to drive it by this summer, but that depends on several critical issues. New wheels, hubs, brakes etc. new gas tank, floorboard/under seat metal and the list goes on and on. No complaints, I love it. Would like to upgrade to disc brakes, any suggestions for economical way to do that.
    Thanks again,
    George

    Looks like a neat little pickup! I am keeping my eye on a similar one that a gentleman I know has but hasn't agreed to sell me yet. :rolleyes: I ***ume it still has mechanical drum brakes? If so, the most economical upgrade to might be to just upgrade to hydraulic but stay with the drums? All of my drum brake vehicles stop great and I drive them in regular traffic all the time.

    It would be cheaper to go with hyd. brakes, I am still looking into all options. My time to be able to drive it is late summer, if I'm lucky. I don't handle freezing weather well, live in Pensacola but born and raised in south Texas!
