★ This identification plate is essential for correct identification of your distributor. The IAD-4008 number determines which rebuild kit (cap diameter 3-5/16"), breaker plate and parts you require.
Application
For Auto-Lite IAD-4008 distributors on vehicles with L-134 and F-134 engines. The IAD-4008 was used on later production when the dust-proof version with dust cover and seal was introduced. Differs from early open IGC-4705 distributors.
Installation notes
The plate is riveted to the side of the distributor housing. Remove any old rivet carefully to avoid damage to the housing. The plate must remain legible for future identification - the number determines which rebuild parts fit.
Compatibility
ONLY for IAD-4008 distributors with dust-proof housing. NOT compatible with early open-type distributors (IGC-4705) or other IAD types (4041, 4012, etc.). Each distributor number has specific parts - cap diameter, breaker plate mounting and rotor differ per type. Always check your distributor number before ordering parts.
Historical context
Auto-Lite supplied ignition for WWII and post-war jeeps. The IAD-4008 was a later dust-proof version that replaced the open distributors, with improved protection against dust and moisture via an additional seal and dust cover.
