Re: Model B distributor
The B distributor centrifugal advance is limited to 17° advance so if you set your initial advance to 3° you will only have 20° total. That is why the B motor is set to 19° initial for 36° total. The B timing covers different from the A cover and sets the timing 19° advanced of the A timing cover.

Re: Model B distributor
Does anybody know where I can purchase a Model B distributor for my 1934 BB with a 4 banger?

Re: Model B distributor
Bob, Thank You Again. Do you have a photograph of a genuine High Speed Model B distributor cap? I have been searching for days and cannot come up with any historical photographs, period advertising, or data on Model B high speed distributor caps. I have nothing. Why isn’t there a shred of anything on this topic?

There is a "sweet zone" which is not readily apparent of course. The range of advance of the Model A distributor is actually GREATER than the Model B. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/bdistributoradvance.htm Quote:

Re: Model B distributor
The Model B cap is the same as the Model A cap - except they narrow the slot at the bottom so it will pass only the wire connector.
Vince's parts list 1932-1934 pix shows the cap as B-12105. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/bdistributordetails.htm A Model A cap will work. Joe K

Re: Model B distributor
@BobC Yes, thank you. I have this cap. They are sold by the majority of Model A parts providers. The cap is simply described as a “modern distributor cap” for a Model A Ford. It doesn’t fit on a Model B distributor unless you add a second index pin notch precisely 90 degrees to the existing one that is correct for the Model A. The advance window/notch is still needed to clear the Model B timing reference tab. The cap looks modern, like 1970s modern. It doesn’t look 1930s vintage. Things made in 1930s have a certain look to them. I want to see an original 1930s vintage Model B high speed distributor cap.
