Looking for a '37 212 distributor IGW 4013A

Splitwindow

Need a '37 212 distributor (IGW 4013A), mine is shot. Good to go or rebuildable is what I need. Thanks!

Would a 212 distributor from a 46-7 work for you? I have a 37 but it's been stripped down to the core.:(  The 46-7 one needs rebuilding but is decent.

Starting in 1940, Hudson moved the distributor on the 212 engine to the top and rear of the block so I don't think the '46- '47 dist will do him any good on a '37 engine

I'm new to Hudsons so i'll have to take your word on that 53jetman!

What I do know for sure is that mine is so bad its rusting into parts and I need a replacement before its dust.

What is the number on the distributor?

Can't tell, the tag crumbled into two un-readable bits...

From the 30-39 parts book,

Models 70,71,78 should be IGW 4012A
Models 72 and 73 IGW 4013A

Don't know what the difference is unless related to 72-73 having voltage regulators for the Gen. and
the others having a cut out relay.

There's one on Ebay right now but it's for a 1939 six;  sure looks like the one in my '37.  A bit pricey at $65, and that's for a "core" only.  Probably one of the Hudson vendors who advertise in the WTN, have an old one kicking around and for much less -- you might try contacting some of them.

 Any distributor from '34 to '39 incl. will do the job.

Geoff, what differentiates the different models, then?

Geoff

There are slight differences in cam angle and degree advance, but they will all fit in the hole and  spread the sparks around.
