3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter Would like to purchase a crab style distributor for my 59A 24 stud engine. Need a 2 to 3 bolt adapter on timing cover. Speed Way, VanPelt and Joe's Antiques are out of them and everything is backordered.
Has anyone purchased one lately ?. ........... Thanks |
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter I need one too..
|
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter when you get one, check the fit before thinking you are ready to bolt it down. mine, and others, have had to file off a bit...i think the corner of the vacuum boss, i forget, but look it over.
|
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter Check with Third Gen Automotive, C and G Parts, or All Ford Parts.

Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter I just fitted one and I did file the corner of the vacuum boss off. I bought mine 10 years ago so can't help on supplier.

Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter I’ve sandcast my own in aluminum but since I’m in Sweden I guess that’s to no help
|
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter Here's a super nice one that you can count on fitting properly.

Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter Not to hijack but for information.
Can you use a 2 bolt plate instead of the 3 bolt plate or is there more to it than that? |
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter #8...the crab is deeper so even with a 2 bolt cover you'll still need a spacer.

Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter Thanks all. Great help.
Now I know. |
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter Re using a 2 bolt plate. Yes you can, but you need a spacer to set the distributer out by the difference between a short cam and a long cam. It's a bit simpler than the 3 to 2 bolt adaptor.

Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter I'm confused. The OP stated he is looking for a crab dist for his 59A engine. The 59A engine has a crab dist standard unless somebody installed an early 3 bolt front cover.

This is the timing cover and Helmet Distributor on my 59A engine. I,m not sure of the year other than it is a 24 stud engine. I bought it "as is " and am attempting to get it running with a reconditioned crab distributor
thanks for all the help and information |
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter Sending a pm with address, thinking your fairly close by...I got one of those kicking around in my V8 pile-O-parts.
Probably will not use it on my pigpen flathead project so hope to help you get yours running. Scott |

Some pictures of my adapter on the "pigpen", will get it mailed out to you Jake.
Makes it especially nice knowing it will contribute to keeping a Walt Dupont built Flathead running again:D |
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter You can see the area of the vac port that needs filing. It's very close to the hex on the vac brake.
|
Re: 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter Jake,
Check your e mail....I found adapters as well. Charlie ny |
