Hi Terry,
thanks for the numbers.
I have a set of 400636 contact breakers (new) and a new cap (yes the 100
pound job) although I can't put my hand on it at the moment to check the
number. The DQH6A-0 would appear to be the original distributor, And the
plate (lets call it the female part) is identical to the one in my
distributor ( interestingly the plate is marked 11 degrees!). However, the
male part is as seen in Blower, where as in my distributor there is no post
to attach it to, rather it is like the ones in a T type that attaches to the
terminal (I'll send you a photo later it you want, let me know). Was there a
later type of contact breaker and a Lucas replacement part? Is there a part
number for the condenser?
thanks all
Andrew

Andrew Fock's distributor:
Here are the numbers
Cap : 401883 (Barry Walker had a supply of these, Old stock but new,
100 pound each!!!!
The large base plate: no number but the condenser is mounted on this
plate
Contact breaker plate (replaceable): 400636
Body
DQH 6A/0
DA 11/0
12
85 234
Terry Sanders distributor:
My N type came with a Rotax distributor which is round and about 8.5cm
diameter. It has a plate on it which sez it is a model DO.H6A-0, Type
DA11-0. It is marked 10 degrees
Pat Mullins distributor:
Barry Walker sold me as spares two 400415 contact sets for my N. and a
condenser.
He also sold me two "original" dists, both Model D0H6A-O, one is Type
DA11-1, the other DA11-O, and one "NOS" replacement, Model DUH6A-O Type
FA32 644 120. All have round but not interchangeable caps.
The spare 400415 sets and my spare condenser are for my NOS dist and
will not fit the other two.
The DA11-0 and NOS dists appear to be interchangable as regards fitting
to an engine (I'm 30 miles from the car right now so cannot check which
dist, if any, actually wd fit the engine). The DA11-1 seems to be for a
different engine.
Altho your dist cap obviously is not for the standard, round N dist,
possibly the condenser and rotor arm are, as the contact set appears to
fit my NOS dist.
My "original" rotor arms are apparently identical, short & somewhat
rounded. My NOS rotor is quite different, more likethe Lucas rotors in
the 1950s & 1960s.
Jack Simpson distributor:
I did buy an NOS cap from Barry Walker in September. The
number on the Lucas box is 401883. It is round with the plug wires coming
out sideways.
