Fellow Listers,
I own a 1965 BJ8 with VIN 65BJ8L28308. I have acquired a distributor for
this vehicle that appears to be in good condition - no bushing slop, etc.
It is marked as follows:
25D 40966 J
6 73
I am wondering if this is indeed a BJ8 distributor as the Moss catalogue
lists it as 25D6 40966. Additionally, the original distributor on this car
has a screw-on fitting for the vacuum advance vacuum line attachment whereas
this distributor has a smooth tube attachment point. I assume one would use
a rubber hose and clamp to connect to the vacuum line. As everything else
appears to be the same, my concern is regarding the internal mechanisms.
Specifically, I am wondering if the mechanical advance weights are the
correct ones for my car.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Should I use this distributor?
Thanks in advance!
Stever
