Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / July 2006HELP! 50 Pickup Ignition Question - dist.bmp (0/1)
I was putting in new points in my '50 stude pickup and I had a leftover part. This part is a piece of wire with two 'c' clips on each end. I THINK that it goes INSIDE the distributer going from the end of the points to the the hot wire coming off of the coil where it comes in to the distributer. In the attached picture the part # is 0601-21 . The questions is: Am I right or totally deranged for doing it this way? Thanks in advance for any advice that you can give to a newby studebaker owner. Pleae either reply back in this NG or remove _spam_ from my address to send it to me directly. Monte! Can't see the attachment here. Dave Miller, South Ga.

It depends on the model number of your distributor, but some of them did not use a ground strap. A ground strap would usually have an eye terminal at each end, and a lead-in would normally have the open C-shaped terminals. Does this look like your distributor? http://home.comcast.net/~jdwain/dist.jpg >I think that parts book illustration is in error, or misleading at >least.
