In Reply to: Ford 641 Distibutor Base w/o Key Slot. posted by John McIntire on February 14, 1998 at 20:49:27:
: I am rebuilding a Ford 641 and I have a problem mating
: the distributor cap to the base. I have the service
: and parts manual. Some pictures show a key slot which
: would allow the distributor cap to fully seat & lock.
: My distributor base is smooth & round, w/o a key slot.
: The distributor cap doesn't fit well and all the parts
: I received, came from the Ford (New Holland) dealer.
: Am I missing a part?
: Page 89, figure 11 T-203, of the Ford Tractor Shop Manual
: 1955-60 shows exactly what I see when I remove the
: distributor cap. I see no keyed slot for the cap. Anyone
: Any ideas very much appreciated.
The distributor cap sit on top of the dust cover. See if you have it.The part NO. is FAA-12239-A
