Application
Specific to the early Autolite distributor type IGC-4705 (open-type, lower housing). This distributor was used from 1941 until October/November 1944, after which it was replaced by the later IAD-4008 dustproof distributor with higher housing.
Installation notes
The data plate is fitted with the supplied early-style rivets to the side of the distributor housing. Check that your distributor is indeed the IGC-4705 model (lower open-type housing) and not the later IAD-4008 dustproof version.
Compatibility
ONLY for IGC-4705 distributor (early open-type with lower housing). NOT suitable for the later IAD-4008 dustproof distributor used from October/November 1944 onwards. The IAD-4008 has a higher housing and a different data plate.
Historical context
The Autolite IGC-4705 was the standard distributor in military jeeps from production start until the introduction of the dustproof IAD-4008 variant in late 1944. The oval identification plate served for quick recognition during maintenance and repair.
