Hello All, just to wrap-up this topic, the car is running again. flackmaster sent me a DR 647F distributor ('37 Olds 6-cyl.), post haste, and it arrived in Saturday's mail. I used the good "lobe shaft" from this distributor in my DR 647E distributor. Cleaned-up everything, re-assembled, and re-installed it on the car. The car started-up right away and then set the ignition timing. It drives better than ever. During all of this down time I affixed a pointer to one of the timing cover cap screws and marked the vibration damper with lines at 10 deg. BTC, TDC, and 10 deg. ATC to ease setting the ignition timing. Looking at the timing marks through the port under the starter is not the most convenient way to do this job. Thanks to all.
