★ Replacement points set for the reliable 24V waterproof distributors used in various military vehicles.

Application

This points set is specifically designed for waterproof 24V distributors of the Gabriel Lyon type. This type of distributor was fitted to vehicles with shielded ignition (blindage anti-parasites), primarily from 1960 onwards when military vehicles switched to 24V systems for improved compatibility with radio equipment and increased reliability during deep wading.

Installation notes

When replacing the points, the breaker plate must be clean and dry. Check the distributor ventilation hoses – these must be connected to prevent overheating. Set the points gap according to factory specifications. Preferably replace together with the condenser for optimal performance.

Compatibility

Fits exclusively in the waterproof 24V Gabriel Lyon distributors. Not suitable for 6V or 12V systems. Not interchangeable with points for open distributors from Auto-Lite, Ducellier or Prestolite used in 6V jeeps.

Historical context

The changeover to 24V electrical systems in military vehicles was implemented from 1960 onwards to achieve uniformity within NATO equipment and guarantee improved compatibility with radio equipment. The waterproof distributor with internal coil provided additional protection during deep wading and severe terrain conditions.
