Application
This breaker plate assembly is specifically intended for breaker point ignition distributors on vehicles fitted with the 4-134 (L-134) engine. Check the type plate on your distributor to ensure compatibility — must start with three letters followed by four digits (e.g. IGC-4705).
Installation notes
Before fitting, check the contact gap — standard.020" measured with a feeler gauge when the fibre block rests on the highest point of the cam. Ensure the condenser wire and movable spring arm are securely fastened to the binding post and do not touch any moving parts. Test the contact spring tension (17-20 ounces) with a spring scale.
Compatibility
Please note: this assembly is NOT suitable for later dust-proof distributors. Check the Autolite type number on your distributor. Early IGC-4705 distributors have an open housing without dust seal. Later production IAD, IAT and IAY distributors use different breaker plate assemblies.
Historical context
The Autolite IGC-4705 distributor was standard fitment on Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps until early 1944, after which more dust-proof versions were introduced. These breaker plate assemblies were crucial components in the 6V ignition system of over 600,000 WWII jeeps.
