I am new here, so not exactly sure how this works. Will just ask a question: Does anyone know where I can obtain a "distributor curve" for the Auto-Lite IGH-4026A distributor that fits my 1936 120B Touring Sedan? The company I spoke with to rebuild my distributor using their machine stated they needed the distributor curve. The vintage books they have did not contain one for this distributor. Thanks.

It's right here:

Don't let the numbers confuse anybody. In a distributor machine use the left column. Using a timing light use the right column.

IGH-4026-A

Distributor advance
0-degrees ------ 300-RPM
2 " --------- 660 "
4 " --------- 1100 "
6 " --------- 1460 "
8 " --------- 1830 "
10 " --------- 2200 "

All of the above a doubled for engine advance.

Thank you very much gentlemen (Tim and snopack)! I appreciate your responses. I can now send the distributors (I have 2 of them) to be rebuilt and tested.

Cam angle degrees - 36
Breaker point opening inch - .020

No vacuum advance on these distributors.
