★ Component for the specific 24V waterproof ignition as applied to the M201 from the early 1960s.
Application
Exclusively for Hotchkiss M201 jeeps with 24V electrical system (from approximately chassis number 08961, production from 1960). The waterproof distributor with internal ignition coil was standard on 24V versions of the M201. NOT compatible with 6V versions or American Willys MB/Ford GPW.
Installation notes
Note: the waterproof distributor has upper and lower ventilation rubbers that must be correctly connected to prevent overheating of the internal coil. When replacing the cap, also check the condition of the contact points, condenser and internal coil.
Compatibility
Specific for M201 24V models with Gabriel Lyon or ABG waterproof distributor. Not interchangeable with 6V systems. The M201 24V had shielded ignition with internal coil, unlike the American MB/GPW with external coil. Early M201 (1955-1960) had 6V — check your chassis number and voltage before ordering.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was built in France under Willys licence from 1955 to 1966. From 1960, the 24V system was introduced for NATO compatibility, with a waterproof Gabriel Lyon distributor specifically developed for severe military conditions.
