Flathead V8 Distributors

     
 21A-12127E Basic Distributor (2 Bolt to cover) 12V Electronic (see note A below) with special 12V coil PIC 1942-44 V8    299.00 *
 8BA-12127CP Modified Points Distributor (see note B below) PIC 1949-53 V8    179.00 *
 8BA-12127CE Modified Electronic Distributor (see note C below) PIC 1949-53 V8    285.00 *
General Note: Above distributors include internal parts and cap retaining clips. Other parts may or may not be included.  * See NOTES A & B below for specific details on what parts come with each distributor. 

Note A: The 21A electronic distributor is only available in 12V negative ground. This is a stock remanufactured 21A crab style distributor specially modified with the Petronix conversion. The pricing includes the distributor, rotor, cap, and the special 12V coil in a single package price. The core charge applies to these for the distributor only. We will charge a $40.00 core charge. This will be refunded if a good rebuildable stock 21A type distributor is sent in by the customer. 

Note B: The modified distributor (8BA-12127CP) is a Chev straight mechanical advance type, modified to fit the Ford & Merc late style flathead V8 engine. Each points type distributor will have brand new HD contact points and new condensers, as well as new Delco caps and rotors. Will fit the aluminum or cast iron timing covers (with or without the lower support). New drive gears are installed. Spark advance curve is limited for the flathead using a machined brass limit bushing in the upper advance slot, and is custom curved using advance springs to obtain 24º engine advance (all in by 2500-2800 rpm). The pin on the timing cover is usually 4º BTDC which makes for a  total advance of 28º. Dwell is set to 30 degrees. Each modified distributor is machined tested and readjusted as needed before shipment. A 1.5 ohm resister is included with each modified distributor. It is suggested that a 1.5 ohm coil be used in all cases with the resister for best contact life. The distributor hold-down can be similar to the factory setup with a clamp on the cylinder head using the aluminum plate mounted to the distributor housing, or simple set screws can be utilized. Instructions are included. A $40.00 core charge applies to these also. The core must be the Chevy type (late 1960's - early 70's) points type.

Note C: The modified distributor (8BA-12127CE) is a Chev straight mechanical advance type, modified to fit the Ford & Merc late style flathead V8 engine. This model includes the Petronix conversion with new Delco components plus includes special 12V coil in the package price. Will fit the aluminum or cast iron timing covers (with or without the lower support). New drive gears are installed. Spark advance curve is limited for the flathead using a machined brass limit bushing in the upper advance slot, and is custom curved using advance springs to obtain 24º engine advance (all in by 2500-2800 rpm). The pin on the timing cover is usually 4º BTDC which makes for a  total advance of 28º. Dwell is set to 30 degrees. Each modified distributor is machined tested and readjusted as needed before shipment. The distributor hold-down can be similar to the factory setup with a clamp on the cylinder head using the aluminum plate mounted to the distributor housing, or simple set screws can be utilized. Instructions are included. A $40.00 core charge applies to these also. The core must be the Chevy type (late 1960's - early 70's) points type.
