Hello All can anybody assist me finding a rotor and top for my gold spark distributor ? Thanks a million
Just read this on the net, so don’t take it for gospel. “I think they use Chrysler type points and cap/rotor, any auto parts store should be able to match them up, Standard ignition products line or blue streak.” And this, “120123 accel. I have had many old accel Mopar distributors that take that cap# Looks just like it. 3 3/4" diameter housing. I googled them to see what they were about ,must be like the Spalding Flamethrower distributor. Run 2 of everything.
^^^ nope that is a W&H dual coil distributor only after Mr Gasket bought them out. there is no oem replacement for the cap or the rotor that fires off both ends. I have seen caps and rotors both here in the classifieds and on ebay
Many years ago I bought a few NOS caps like that from Fox Valley Hot Rods. They were the black Mr. Gasket style, but they fit my old W&H DuCoils. Give him a call and see if he still has any.
As a matter of interest, do they run 2 coils? Interesting rotor and cap. Sorry Moriarity , just reread your post.
The caps and rotors were from an OE application. I used to know back when I was trying to hoard caps and rotors, but I can't remember exactly any longer. I think it might have been from a late 1920s/early 1930s Lincoln or Packard or similar, but don't quote me on that. There are also rotors that look similar from the top side, but have a slightly different keying shape (D vs. slot & tab), so one needs to be careful when purchasing. Individual replacement caps and rotors tend to be expensive. It seems to be cheaper just to buy a used DuCoil for a SBC that's in good shape to scavenge for the cap and rotor.
