distributor

[Jerry42]

hello does anyone know where to get a rebuilt Autolite Dist. #IAY  4001-1 or know of one that replaces it? seems like parts are hard to find for the IAY 4001-1 many thanks Jerry

IAY 4004-1 is the replacement newer model distributor W/O vacuum advance just like yours.

It was used on all the B3,B4..F thru K series trucks (1-1/2 thru 2-1/2 tonner trucks).

It will work perfectly fine on your truck too.

I do not know of a re-builder.

Shown is this distributor... which is my back up.

I guess it is true. Moss grows on the north side of distributors.

That isn't moss Don.!!..that's packed dirt and grease as hard as concrete on that distributor I just picked up from eastern Washington a couple weeks ago,.

in near 100 degree temps @ 35-40% humidity!.

A pretty dry area for sure and very hot all summer long. Not like here where I live and where moss grows on the south side of mushrooms and on 8" long slugs backs.

I knew that was not moss, I was jerking your chain. Do Morel Mushrooms grow in your area? They are a spring time treat where I live.

The morels from what I had to read about are not around here in western Washington much.

They grow over in North Central  Eastern Washington mainly after a previous years forest fire. Then a good crop will be had!

Thanks for the information I will keep my eyes open for one. Was wondering if another model # would fit like (IAp or IAT or would it be better to stay with the IAY .....Many thanks for the Info
