Re: breaker points /autolite

Doesn't NAPA carry ignition parts for the Durant / Rugby. They do here or get them in for continental motors. I was sent this Oct 2007 but can't seem to get it to work now ... Ignition parts and fan belt for a model 40 was obtained through NAPA for a museum car and also a 1931 614 private owned.

Check here: http://www.smpcorp.com/web_app/catalog/publiccatalog.asp
This company still manufactures the dist cap, rotor, points, condenser, and coil
Anything listed here can be ordered from NAPA. You can check availlability at the NAPA website, using the SMP p/ns.

Hi All.....

Just click on the Tech Page button on the left side and then click Ignition Tune Up parts.

You will find a listing of the NAPA numbers for the tune up parts for the late distributor. The easiest way to tell the late distributor is it uses a tear drop shaped rotor. The early ones use a completely circular rotor.

Be sure to replace BOTH the cap and rotor if using the modern (NAPA) ones, they are different heights and must be used as a set.

There's a guy on EBAY named Cowboy426 who often lists the tune up kits that he puts together. He has one on there now Item #130265165316. But he will also sell the individual parts if you email him. For those of you "downunder" you might have to switch over to the USA Ebay instead of your Australian link. The set is a bit pricey, but I don't know what he charges for the individual parts.

Thats a good idea Mike, same with Canada Ebay to US one. Discovered the main US one had more parts for sale than was shown on Ebay.ca.
