Subject: V12 Distributors
Ernst Chalupa is restoring a V12 engine for a customer. One problem: the distributors are missing.
The information I have is from my car:
The distributors have a plate "Delco Remy, Made In England, London". The right one is designated 647 LA and turns clockwise, the left one is designated 647 KA and turns anti-clockwise (image attached)
Some time ago I posted also the information about the contact breakers: right side DR-2437XP = part no. 1924499 (also used in 53-56 buick V8, 46-48 Cadillac, 55-56 Chevy 8, 55 Corvette)
left side DR-2236XP = part no. 1871678 (also used in 40-50 olds 6, 40-53 Pontiac 6, 51-54 Kaiser, 50 Studebaker 6 and 50-60 Studebaker truck). You find them at very reasonable prices on ebay USA
Rotor finger: DR-158 you also find it cheap ebay. The DR means Delco Remy.
Delco distributors 647 "D" or other letters are used on some of the above US cars.
Who knows more about the distributors, do you have the same type in your V12, do you know in which other car they have been used ?
