Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2014: Distributor I.D. & parts for it...
Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Russell Richards on Wednesday, October 08, 2014 - 06:22 pm:

This is the distributor on a 1923 Model T.
I am in need of help with I.D. for replacement parts,Cap, Points, Bug...etc

It has (Keystone Timer) cast on the vertical housing and has Nu-Rex stamped on the points plate.

The Firing order on the existing cap was:
1-3-4-2 clockwise not the actual 1-2-4-3

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks People

nu rex is an after market point plate so you can use modern points, 57 ford v8 i think. a caps are an odd shape, may or may not fit in the space you have, but regular round caps are available.

No, it is a modified Model A distributor cap that allows use of modern plug wires. You need it to clear all the linkage and the fan.

Ford used the same distributor cap from 1928 - 31 on the Model A.

You should keep extra point sets and condensers with you. The Model A guys have been experiencing a lot of problems with the recent crop of offshore garbage. It is very unreliable.
