★ Essential ignition system component — the contact points determine the precise moment when the coil delivers the high-voltage spark to the spark plugs.
Application
This points set fits Auto-Lite and Prestolite distributors of the IAD, IAT, IAY and IAU type, as fitted to vehicles with the L-134 L-head and F-134 F-head four-cylinder engines. The set is voltage-independent and can be used in 6, 12 or 24 volt ignition systems.
Installation notes
Fit the contact points beneath the distributor rotor. Adjust the gap to manufacturer's specifications (typically 0.020 inch / 0.51 mm) using a feeler gauge. Check the adjustment after tightening the fixing screw. Lightly lubricate the rubbing block with high-temperature grease. Also check the condenser — if the contacts show heavy pitting, condenser replacement is recommended.
Compatibility
NOTE: the distributor is driven via the oil pump shaft. All 4-134 engine distributors (L-head and F-head) use the same keyed drive shaft, making distributors interchangeable. The contact points themselves are however specific to the distributor type (IAD/IAT/IAY/IAU series). Check the identification plate on your distributor before ordering — this consists of three letters followed by four digits (e.g. IAT-4401).
Historical context
Auto-Lite distributors were originally fitted to the Willys L-134 'Go Devil' and F-134 'Hurricane' four-cylinder engines from the 1940s. In the 1960s, Prestolite took over production of Auto-Lite ignition components, which is why both brand names appear on these distributor types.
