Can some one help with the following:
1940 110 6 cylinder, Is the correct distributor an Auto-Lite IGC? If so, can I find parts from Napa?
(My parts guys was showing it as IGW for 1940 only.)

Does anyone have the current part numbers for the ignition kit?

At this point, I can't determine what I should be looking for............ All I know is I've got a skip under load that is driving me crazy!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry Big Kev,
I didn't mean to ignor your input, I fat fingered the "submit" too quickly.

Thanks, OD
I spoke with the supplier this morning and they've been using this same material for quite some time. Apparently the same as what's being used on race cars.
I have to agree that the mated surfaces are not true. That's about the only thing it can be.

When I reinstalled, they were assembled as a unit, then on the car.
Thanks for the input..........

I'm interested to hear any thougts about the gasket between the intake and exhaust manifold continously burning out creating a leak.

Background includes the following: 1940 110 6 cylinder,
*both manifolds coated with a ceramic coating.
*Torch used to extract broken bolt
*surfaces were not machined prior to assembly
*second gasket used, less than 3 hrs running time

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Steve P

Dave,
Thanks for the input.

Thanks Guys,
You're answered my question. I've really struggled this week trying to get this car to run smoothly. I've rechecked everything several times and this was one question that I had.
I assume that this would have a major impact on the timing if not set correctly.........

Hey Guys,
I need a little help regarding the ignition timing on my '40 110.

The manual describes "with the fuel compensator set at zero spark should occur in No. 1 as per the data...."

Can someone shed some light on the fuel compensator?
Is this the graduated scale on the side of the distributor?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Thank you very much for the comments and sage advice.

O_D,
Can you tell me if the 85w140 can be substituted for the SAE 140 as recommended for the transmission and the Econo-drive supplied in my 40 110? If not, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve P
