DISTRIBUTOR ASSEMBLY 6/12 VOLTS

Distributor 6/12V

Suitable for 6V and 12V ignition systems

★ This distributor is a direct replacement for original WWII distributors and works seamlessly with both 6V and 12V ignition systems. Ideal for restorations or conversions.

⚠ Important

• Check polarity on 12V systems — negative battery terminal to earth, negative coil connection to distributor
• Do not use external resistor in the system unless specified by coil manufacturer
• When stationary with ignition on, the coil may overheat — switch off with engine stopped
• Verify that all electrical connections are clean and securely fitted

Installation notes

The distributor is driven by the oil pump drive shaft via a key groove at the lower end of the distributor shaft. Ensure correct timing adjustment after installation. Lubricate regularly through the oil port with engine oil (SAE 90).

Compatibility

Suitable for all L-134 and F-134 four-cylinder engines. The drive shaft is identical for all 4-134 engine distributors. When converting from 6V to 12V, points, condenser, spark plugs and ignition leads do not require replacement — only coil, dynamo/alternator and lighting require adaptation.

Historical context

Original WWII Jeeps were fitted with Auto-Lite distributors, initially the open IGC-4705 model until October 1944, followed by the dust-proof IAD-4008 model. These reproductions follow original specifications with modern components for improved reliability.
