Crabbie day at bubbas ??

Special crab distributor for a customer with a blown big inch flathead..Needed distributor to run 5000 plus rpms and supply 22-23 degrees at 2500.
We built a cast iron unit ( my favorite) used CS47 HD Napa contacts and a vertex condensor. Had a couple NOS Mallory brown caps as well. As good as it gets crab style!!!!!!!

Great looking distributor, see you used a Vertex condensor what is the M.F.D on these condensors.
Did you receive my email about the order, I had a bit of trouble sending it too you.

The vertex is a .36mfd high quality 600 volt condensor........

Jim, do all these cast versions have a bushing in them for the vacuum brake?
