I believe a previous owner put an incorrect distributor on my Model B (also wrong carburetor which I have changed). Wondering if I can keep this distributor or am I better off buying a rebuilt one. The Auto-lite number on mine is IGB4096B. From what I have found, it should be IGW4149A? Sticking with the 6V system, should I opt for the Pertronix ignition?
Thank you,
Scott

Re: Model B distributor
Being a pre war model B engine. The carb and dist. could be correct. If you have a parts manual from the postwar era. Its going to list different numbers for some parts.
Especially generators, starters and dist.

I am running Pertronix in both 6V and 12 V systems and am very happy so far.

Re: Model B distributor
IGW4149 is for a six cylinder. You have the correct distributor for a mid-1930s B

Re: Model B distributor
Well that's good news! Now can I still get points, rotor, etc for it? Or a Pertronix ignition?
