Application
For Dodge WC series lorries with Auto-Lite distributors. Most Dodge WC models (WC51, WC52, WC54, etc.) used 6-volt ignition systems; some radio and command car variants (such as WC53, WC56-58) had 12-volt systems. This universal points set fits both configurations.
Installation notes
Before fitting, check the contact surfaces for pitting or discolouration. Adjust the point gap to 0.020" using a feeler gauge, or use a dwell meter for more accurate adjustment (30-33° for 6-cylinder engines). After adjustment, the timing must be reset. Lubricate the cam with distributor cam grease.
Compatibility
Fits Auto-Lite IGC, IAD, IAP, IAY and IAT series distributor caps used in Dodge WC series lorries. NOT compatible with later M-series 24-volt waterproof distributor caps.
Historical context
Auto-Lite supplied the ignition systems for most WWII Dodge WC series lorries. Points and condenser formed the heart of the ignition system and required regular maintenance to keep the engine running optimally.
