F20 or Regular Conversion from Mag to Distributor

Anonymous-0 · Oct 19, 2009

Anybody have any good suggestions, or pictures, to convert an F20, or Regular, from a magneto, to a distributor? Once saw a 90 degree upright distributor, from an Allis Chalmers, on an F20. Didn't look too hard to do. Like to hear from anyone who has done it.

If you ever decide to do it you need to see where the rotor is pointing on the existing mag before you remove it and make a sketch. Then don't move the engine until you have the distributor installed. Rotate the rotor to the same position as shown in your sketch and your distributor should be in time. You will need an auto type ignition coil and an ignition switch with battery voltage fed the switch and to the coil and to the points in the distributor. Your engine should then start. Hal
PS: You can do away with the grounding wire that was used for grounding out the mag.
