Please see the pics below... can anybody tell me what distributor (brand/model?) this is? The car is a fully standard 103E Pop, 1956, 6 volt. All my books are hidden in a box somewhere as we've recently moved, so I can't look it up... Embarassed






Thanks in anticipation... Smile

I had a quick look in the Ford factory books but neither Parts List nor Manual mention the original manufacturer, just Enfo part nos at best Confused It's more likely to be mentioned in an old FSOC magazine I guess, than in anything printed officially. Or else in an old OEM catalogue, if you can find any.

It is a standard Ford distributor.

Exactly the same as the one on my DLM - Ford E93a engine.
and the same as on my friends 1955 Ford Pop

As to the part number??

Have a look at the Ford sidevalve club list

8 & 10 HP

I will ask Rob next time I see him, might be Sunday, and he can look in his books.

I would lay money on the points and rotor arm being Lucas.
