Re: Model B distributor on Model A
Another thing I forgot to mention, for those considering this mod who have not seen a B distributor in person, is that the B distributor does not accept the stock Model A armored ignition cable. The Model B dropped the armored cable concept and instead used a simple wire with flag terminals between the ignition and the distributor.
Your choices are to either swap out your armored cable (and the ignition key, if you have an original pop-out) for the Model B wire or to fabricate an adapter that provides a receiver for the armored cable. Such adapters have been made. They're a little ungainly, IMO, but they work.
