HI

Here is the coil adaptor that you should be after. This is what I have on my machine and it is a lot better then using the original type coils. Just check your distributor to see if it has 2 or 3 holes drilled into the top surface for the coil mounting. The 1932-36ish dist had a 3 hole mount for the coil whereas the 37-41 models had a 2 hole mount. When you buy a modern type coil make sure to get one with an internal resistor. It just means you have one less bit of wiring to do. Ive also included a picture of how I mounted my coil to my engine.

As for the distributor wires I got a set off of another MLU member who bought them from Macs or Dennis Carpenter. The nice thing about these sets were that the wires had individual colours. It made it really easy to hook up the wires in the dist cap and get them in the correct spot.

You should also replace all the wiring. It is not hard to hook up the bare minimum to have it run the engine. Plus this way you know everthing is new and correct.

As for your engine. Does it have the water pumps at the bottom or the top at the front of the engine? Also where do the water pipes that connect from the top of the rad to engine hook up at the engine. Are they towards the front of the block or are the centered at the top of the heads? Without pictures this will help us identify your engine properly. As a few have said there was a number of engines that came out all within decade and making sure you get the correct parts will save money and time wasted.

One last thing.

I bought a brandnew complete fuel pump from Macs as I was tired with messing around on the old original ones. I splurged and bought the made in USA vs the offshore crap one only to find it had actauly been made in Canada. Don't use original pumps unless they have been rebuilt with all new rubber parts. Todays fuel will destroy the old stuff in no time
