I have a 1945 WL. It has a Auto Advance timer. Can someone identify which timer it is? It is the one with the ‘C’ clip on the cam. Also what points are used in this setup? Who is the supplier of them?
Thanks! John

 

A couple of things you need to know

the points and condenser are 1970 up cone shovel - and the ones you have a china junk
USA pieces are available BUT another issue is in the mix

the communist distributor in the picture i have never seen one that you wont have issues starting — Y — the advance in it retards the timing way too much

if you advance it by turning it — it will kick back on your ankle first - and then put too much timing in the engine that will cause engine issues

gotta love the commie bastards - OH thats right — they also sell all the parts to fix what that distributor will destroy

If you use the original type dizzy it will run another 75 years

 

Find an original distributor than upgrade to electronic ignition from Ed, it will solve lots of potential issues before they happen:

And it will look stock.
