★ This distributor cap is specifically designed for waterproof 24V ignition systems as originally fitted to military vehicles with increased voltage.

Application

This component is intended for jeeps equipped with a 24 volt waterproof distributor. Product categories list application on M201 (Hotchkiss) and converted CJ-2A, CJ-3A, M38, and M38A1 vehicles with 24V conversion. Original production vehicles with this specification were primarily French licence models (M201) and some later military conversions.

Installation notes

When fitting, check that the ventilation rubbers on the distributor are correctly connected to prevent overheating. Waterproof distributors have specific seals — ensure all gaskets are intact. Use only with 24V ignition system.

Compatibility

Only compatible with 24V waterproof distributors (type ABG Paris or equivalent). NOT interchangeable with standard 6V or 12V distributor caps. Specific to waterproof version — standard open distributors use different caps. Note: most WWII MB/GPW and early civilian CJ models had 6V systems and do NOT use this component.

Historical context

Waterproof 24V ignition systems were primarily fitted to the French Hotchkiss M201 (1952-1967) and to specific military conversions. The waterproof system with internal coil was a French development for increased reliability under severe conditions.
