Hi Brian,
You must supply the specific distributor part number, usually a 5 or 6 digit
number starting with 4 and possibly ending in a letter. The DK4A is only the
model number. Hundreds of different distributors have this model number.
I have a Lucas parts book which begins in 1939, your P type distributor may
be listed and if so we can at least find the total advance and possibly some
intermediate advances for various RPMs.
Regards, Bob
Hi Guys,
Can anyone supply information regarding the curve of the DK4A Distributor?
Recently, on the list, it was suggested that an 8 degree auto advance be
fitted.
What was the original advance on the P Type? I had mine on a "Sun Analyzer"
and it was way over advanced. Are new shaft and action plates available in
different degrees? Nothing mentioned in Dowley's catalogue.
The compression ratio on mine has been raised to around 7.4 to 1.
Any and all info. gratefully received.
Brian Kelly.
PS.
As a matter of interest the DK4A signifies,
D- distributor
K- cast iron body with molded contact breaker base and die-cast auto
advanced
weights.
4- cylinders.
A- auto advanced.
