Technical Crab dizzy onto a 39 engine.

I have a stock (for now) 39 tudor. I want to ditch the stock distributor for the later crab type. As the 39 style coils just are not available. The car is 6 volt and I have the opportunity to buy the harmon and colins 6 volt one pictured one. I understand there is an adapter available to make it fit. Does anyone know where to get one?

Jim Kerr?

 

We stock both types adapters if your buddy doesn’t have them. Assuming you have the 3 bolt timing cover, and the stock 39 camshaft, this is the adapter. It will move the distributor out front by an extra 3/8”. If your motor has the shorter 42-48 camshaft, you’ll also need the spacer button.

You can also run a coil adapter like this. Readily available and cheap too

 

sounds like you blokes know the man , I used one of his adapters on a 37 motor worked just great , unlike one I bought from another chap in another state

 

Thanks. If I cant get one in Australia I will follow this up.

On the Harmon & Collins dizzy, make sure that the middle spacer (orange part) and the rotor are good. Those parts are difficult to find.
