You should be sending only 6 volts to the ignetion . So the condenser is fine . If you are sending 12 volts to the system , you need to get a common resister or your points will burn out very quickly .

Rich , The Auto Lite part number for your distributor shaft is IGS-1081RB . That shaft also fits the Canadian Dodge D11 . D12 D13 . Also fits 1938 Dodge truck RC (T158)and RD(T60) I could look further if it would help .

Interchangeable Distributors -23" vs 25"?
Jerry Roberts replied to Bob Riding's topic in P15-D24 Forum
The distributor for the 25 inch block has a longer shaft than the distributor for the 23 inch block . -
Pep , As Mark mentioned , NOS AutoLite parts can be found on ebay . I have an AutoLite catalog and I can look up most distributor models to find the part numbers for plates , points , etc . The model number usually starts with three letters followed by numbers .

You can get 6 volts with 4 penlight batteries , but that won't start your engine . harbor Freight sells a load tester .

I have seen utube vidios of a machine shop using a torch to ' blow ' a broken easy out away .

Some of the shop manuals for these old cars have wireing diagrams that show the wire gauge . If you don't have a shop manual for your car you might shop for one that shows this information . Also search old posts here that have covered his information. It is not hard to rewire your car doing just one wire at a time so that you can keep track .

1940 dodge 1/2 ton rear panel
Jerry Roberts replied to fireguyfire's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
As strange as it looks , there was no panel there . I made a panel to cover that area from a piece of sheet metal and I can post a photo of it if you like . Not stock . -
Can you buy a sheet of cork gasket material locally ? I would not glue everything together as you might want to take the covers off in the future . You could glue the cork to the covers and then use grease to seal the covers to the block . That way if you did want to remove the adhesive you can do it on the workbench .

The correct vacuum chamber for your distributor IGS4109 is part number VC-1039A . This is for 1940 Plymouth truck model PT 105 . Also note the same part and distributor fit 1940 Dodge truck model VC and Plymouth cars model P9 and P10 .

What is the Autolite part number on your distributor ? The part number often starts with letters .

In the past I have seen the nose pieces on ebay .

" the engine was completely repaired " . A rebuilt engine is usually a little tight and will run a little hot until it loosens up .

Also , the fuel might be partly restricted , perhaps at the tank . Some of these cars have a filter inside of the tank . Try running on a gas can .

Try polerizing the generator first . It is easy and fast and costs nothing .
