Re: Magneto and belts
The narrow belt came on the Ford 8BA in 1949 for the engines used in some passenger cars. The wide belt continued being used for the Ford trucks in 1949 to 1953.

Re: Magneto and belts
It must be a miracle on how the Vertex mags actually have an advance system. But they do. Oh and you can get them locked as well meaning no advance. :rolleyes:
