Re: 1932 cylinder head distributor mount?

I have two knobs on my 32 901 steering wheel, the right one is the throttle but the left one is dead and not connected to anything. I believe this was for the spark advance and a carry over from the 31. I too have the distributor detent but mine is in the left position all the time. Can someone explain why it has two positions ? I also had a hard starting hot issue but now resolved with a new larger cable between the solenoid and the starter ( key start ) on my car in place of the floor button. Car always starts cold or hot and never use the choke. I also have one of the new Packard Carbs which works beautifully.
