I have an Atwater Kent model LA distibutor that is missing one spring steel cap clip. anyone have an extra or know of a source.

I think that there are early Willys 4 cylinder clips that interchange with the AK.

thanks for the offer, Jim. I'll have to take a picture and then email it to you. I do know the clips ar eshort; probably no longer than 1 inch in length, If the clips are still attached to a Atwater kent dist. body, it will say Atwater Kent type LA on it.

Tripped over it today... What parts do you need off it ???
PM with needs and i will send them to you..
Clips would be no charge for a Ford Barner, small easy to mail etc.......
Actually i have a box with some different T distributors Atwater /Delco etc...in it, kinda a parts only box etc.....

And while we are on the subject these old Atwater units make a fairly good distributor! The area to the right is the condensor ( long gone and dried out by now for sureO we just scrape the old stuff out and carefully wire up a externa .28 mfd condensor and ground to the case. File and adjust the contacts and hope the cap and rotor is good. Gears ( assuming you have both) are to be greased and away we go.
