443 points replacement

Just popping in

How are the points replaced on a 443? I have an early version (35 engine #) with a
Delco distributor. The points are under the breaker plate and I cannot seem to
get the top part of the distributor off.
Thanks, Mike

G'day michael biegas,

to PackardInfo, but sorry

I can't help with your query.

However, I invite you to include your 443 Packard in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

I couldn't tell a whole lot from your pictures, but it looks to me as if you will have to remove the two small hairpin clips to get that cover plate off. There is a great link on the AACA forum on how to set and synchronize the points, should you need to do so. Here is a link:

Good Luck
