1934 Chrysler Distributor

[Ricko1937]

Can anyone help me and put me in some direction. I have a 1934 Chrysler Model CA 6cyl 241.5ci engine. I am having problems with the distributor and would like to send it to someone who has the knowledge and specs for this model. The distributor is a Delco-Remy model 644W serial # 30532. Is this the correct one for my year Chrysler. Any help would be appreciated.

It appears that your distributor is correct for the CB Export Model.

Should set-up and work just fine for your CA.

What sort of problem are you having?

All of the usual distributor checks need to be made.

Check the shaft bushings, and that the advance weights are free.
