Re: Distributor Compatibility Question

The 282 cu in motor used from 37-47 all have the same camshaft, use the same headgasket, pistons and valves. That said, the differences in the advance curves must be minimal because all that is left id the differences in compression ratios. Heads are often changed without creating problems with differing compression ratios so I would say that the distributors can be changed.


Some early distributors may have a narrower/wider slot so before swapping widen it as needed with a hacksaw as some interchange manuals suggest
