Join me as I upgrade a Ford Model A distributor to use "modern" points and a wireless lower plate. Working on my 1929 Ford Model A: • Working on my 1929 For... Follow on IG: vudu_daily
Should only snug the screws to hold the points in position. If you snug them down, then the points should not move on the plate when you do a final tightening and the cam position will not matter, check for proper gap after you tighten.
I also put some dielectric grease on the contact points of the tab and the brass plate to keep the wear down when moving the spark advance/retard lever
I have a screw start tool that makes installing those little screws!! well worth the price of it!!!
