Povertycove Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'd like to obtain a distributor for a series 11B, especially a good distributor cap. The car has an atwater-kent, model RA on it now. Anything interchangeable with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My father owns two Franklins with AK distributors. I had such troubles with one of them, I finally gave up and put a delco in it. The caps were not available, and NOS caps would crack and fail in a matter of months in use. Finally somebody began to reproduce the caps, but I think he was asking close to $500 a piece. A friend of mine who is very knowledgable, modified a delco from a Chevy. It's of the era, so unless you know what you are looking at, it looks correct. Caps and points are available anywhere.Surprisingly, the second car runs great with the AK distributor. We've only had it for three years or so, and I've never even had the cap off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
