Default Re: Question about a "Helmet" distributor

Denny,

A simple suggestion....
On my cars I trim the condenser bracket into a “u” shape rather than a hole, so that I can remove the coil without having to completely remove the distributor bolt. It’s a real time saver as in some cars like a 1937-9 that bolt can be a pain to reach and easy to drop. and also helps allow for varying gasket thicknesses. The 81a condenser for 37-41’s grounds through the coil screw rather than the typical 78 type that grounds through the mounting bolt. I think I sent you a version of both as well as a 32/36
