0 Adrian Barrell Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It looks like a sealed ignition distributor cap but from what.... Possibly post war US, I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought that Adrian for a 6-cylinder, but I would have expected a central outlet for the king lead. Are those traces of Sky Blue on there?

The US ones tend to have an internal connection from coil to rotor as the coil is mounted under the same cover adjacent to the distributor shaft, hence the lead terminals being offset.

0 fv1609 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Ok Adrian yes you are spot on with that. Never comes across that arrangement before, but I have never taken much interest in US vehicles. So is that a screened ignition system? If so, is there any evidence of a ballast resistor in the ignition primary circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
