Why Distributor # on Flathead Six Engines

Count

I would do my homework before proceeding. I am sure there is a web site that addresses this and I also think that Bernhaum would not want any numbers if none were needed. Your dealing with your 1940 Royal 6 on a continuing basis would certainly be cause enough to be up on things like this.

If my old memory serves me correctly there might be some distributors that are/were taller then others.

Also a google search might be in order.

Chrysler sourced them from several vendors-Delco-Remy and Auto-Lite (later Prestolite) are two I can think of offhand.

Not too sure why you're buying points, condenser, cap, rotor type stuff from Bernbaum. He's a reliable source, to be sure, but those parts can still be had at your local NAPA jobber in the Echlin line.

True. There ARE a goodly number of Chrysler industrial flatheads still in daily service, and the fleet guys sure don't run to Bernbaum for ignition parts! (My place of work has a couple of Chrysler-powered Federal yard cranes out in the assembly areas).

According to the Hollander Interchange a 1940 Chrysler C25 Royal would have one of the following distributor numbers: IGS 4101B-1 IGS 4107-1 IGS 4107A-1
