distributor cap for 6 cylinder Centennial

Geo-TH,In · Jul 25, 2010

A friend wants to locate a distributor cap for 6 cylinder flat head centennial engine. Any ideas where to look? Any tractor use that engine? No idea of it's age or model. Help needed to find serial# or Id #'s. I know 4 cylinder overhead valve contennial engines were used on Ferguson's and I think they started production in 1949, so this engine could be over 60 years old. Thanks in advance. George

Should not be all that hard to find. There where a lot of tractors and equipment that used that 226 or 227 con. engine and if you go to a GOOD parts store they should be able to help you with it

if that is supposed to be a Continental 6 cyl. then a chevy nova 6 cylinder cap from the late 60's will work. may be taller but is supposed to fit.

There is usually a tag on the distributor with numbers. Give that to your parts man and he should be able to look it up. I just replaced one a year ago. If I still had the box I would give you the number.

Continental 226 flatheads were also used in Willys jeeps throughout the 50"s & early 60"s. Willy"s called them "super hurricane" engines. Parts are readily available at NAPA or on-line.
