  • Ignition: Autolite part number for 56J distributor

    I just stumbled upon an Autolite distributor in my "stash" and I need to identify what it belongs to. Does someone out there know the Autolite part number that fits a 56J? Thanks.

        Just looked at it. It is an IBK4001. Any idea what it fits?

        Thanks.

          1955 Ambassador V8
          American iron, real old school
          With two tone paint, it sure is cool

          Its got 8 cylinders and uses them all
          With an overdrive that just won't stall

          With a 4 barrel carb and dual exhausts
          With 4.23 gears it can really get lost

          Its got safety belts and I ain't scared
          The brakes are good and the tires are fair.

          Tried to sell her, but got no taker
          I"ll just keep driving my Studebaker

            Thanks Ben. It should work in my 56J then.

              The '55 dist used a different vacuum advance and centrifugal advance springs.

                The 1955 Ambassador V8 was a 7.8 compression 320". As mentioned, the advance curves may not be correct for the 9.5 compression 352".
