Gunsmoke Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Have been looking for a good distributor for a '31 Dodge DG8 engine I picked up to use in my '31 Chrysler CD8 Roadster project. I understand the '31 DG8 and '31 CD8 blocks were the same except for stamping ID. Does a Distributor for any other engines fit this block properly, such as from a '30 Dodge DC8, or later model straight 8 Dodge, Chrysler, DeSoto etc. Saw one for sale on eBay recently asking $150, it did not sell may try to buy it if it relists, it was from a DG8. I have a later Hollands interchange book (dated 1948) but it does not cover this item. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Looking at one of my interchange books, I see that the 1931 DB DG8 distributor is a Delco-Remy #4092. I see no other #4092 distributors listed for any other make/model car. You will have to get a hold of "ScottsDG8" again to see if he has an extra.

Gunsmoke Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) thanks for that K31. The dist buddy had on eBay was Delco-Remy, had model #660G, serial #10570. I'm going to have to do some more checking. I may google Delco remy Dist's and see what shows up as a chart. I've done the google search, one of the internet suppliers of small Delco-Remy parts lists the Delco-Remy 660G,and 660U distributors as being for Chrysler 8's 1930-1936. First Straight 8 Chryslers I think were 1931 Models built in second half of 1930, as model CD8's. So the eBay listing was likely from a CD8 motor. The Dodge DG8 was listed in this guys index, but did not show a Dist model#, perhaps #4092 is correct for Dodge DG8. Just what the subtle differences may be, well we need an expert! I understand the Chrysler unit had dual points. Edited February 9, 2015 by Gunsmoke (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The DG8 unit is a dual point, also..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
