Cowtown Commander Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 When I was restoring my 1938 Coupe I found a 1950 Truck Engine (245 cubic inch with insert rod bearings) that we opted to use in lieu of the Original 226 engine with poured rod bearings. The mechanic used the starter, distributor, and carburetor from the original car as these items had been overhauled about 6 months prior. Am I correct in assuming that while the entire distributor assemblies interchange I will need to order distributor caps, rotors and points for a 1938 car as the Auto Lite IGW 4101 distributor originally provided on the car uses a different cap & rotor than the Auto Lite IGC 4802 distributor on the truck engine?
