Help Identify a helmet
Grabbed these from my stash, the one on the right seem to have a separate contact for the points, whereas the left one has what I call a normal points set. I want to try them on my 41 to troubleshoot a no spark problem, seems like the left one is more correct.

Re: Help Identify a helmet
The one on the left is correct for a 41 assuming it has 11A stamped on the cam

Re: Help Identify a helmet
Try this again
The one on the left should be the one you use ideally it will have an 11A stamped where the rotor shaft interfaces with the CAM. |

Re: Help Identify a helmet
The one on the left is stock 37-41 (11A marking on the back of the shaft indicates 41).
The one on the right has 32-36 guts installed with the earlier points.I have done this trick a few times myself, I find the earlier shafts and points easier to set up and longer lasting in service. Some of the 37-41 housings have blanked off plug locations that can be drilled for easy point adjustment and allow for 32-36 rubber plugs installed. If you want to take a very long time to rebuild a distributor you can do a lot of work to precisely fit the larger 32-36 rotor and caps into the later distributor. |
