Re: 1954 239 distributer
This was already mentioned but a good dose of anti-seize on the centering journals should do the trick. I use the nickel based stuff but any anti-seize is better than none.

But 1954 is how far back? Very few understand the LOAD-O-MATIC operation and most likely the DIST has not been out since when? There has to be someone offering this service even if you had to send it off. If the DIST is serviced correctly and if it didn't work properly when returned and installed, the vacuum supply valve on the CARB would then be suspect.

Re: 1954 239 distributer
Thanks for all the info, new question. Anyone running Pertronix in a 239 Y blockwith a generator ? Some of my fellow flathead friends have had problems they say caused by the generator. Pertronix happier with an alternator?? Thanks in advance.!!!!

Re: 1954 239 distributer
It would be best to ask @ PERTRONIX TECH.
!!! IMO !!! The charging system would have to be in perfect condition with a strong reserve BATT (w/ the GEN/VR being able to maintain it). The MODULE should be powered via a fused relay off BATT.

Re: 1954 239 distributer
My T-Bird's FE engine came from the previous owner with a Pertronix ignition system installed. When working on my car's ignition, the information I found indicated that the Pertronix system is very coil specific. Coil has to be the correct ohms, and can cause failures if it isn't. Some new coils at stores may not have that info readily available but you can measure it with a multimeter. Also, it should have the correct ballast resistor configuration. I'm not saying what those specifics are because you should probably talk to Pertronix as KULTULZ said.

The electronic modules may be a little less tolerant of a slight voltage drop when running at 6v as compared to 12v. With less voltage to begin with a 1 or 2 volt drop makes more of a difference. . Last edited by dmsfrr; 05-09-2022 at 08:45 PM. |
