Default Re: model t mallory distributor

Thats a raised timer not a distributor. Look at the drive gear... is it a 45 degree bevel or a counter mesh helical? Pull the cap and I think youll just find a contactor (timers are a grounding timing device) that makes contact with the cap. Post some pics of the guts and gears... I wonder what the rheostat on the cap is for??? ws
