Recently ordered a distributor cap from Yesterdays Tractors. The cap they sent is way too large. I called and they said what they sent was all they show and suggested I post to this forum. Autolite dist with the following numbers.-GW4139A 61 then3-4 more numbers/letters that can't be read. Thanks
 
gabby, Take your dist. to your Napa dealer,they can get them or order a cap for a MH#30,they are smaller.Good luck.--------Harold
 
Is that the strange looking cap, sort of flat where the plug wires come out horizontally (flat) to the sides of the cap and are anchored by tapered wedge pins between the cap and the distributor?
 
On the Cont.F.Series there were 2 or 3 Four Cyl and 2 Six cyl Dists.used that NO parts are any longer able to get,PERIOD.There are new ones you can get if you look.We have had to replace maybe a half dozen over the years.
 
MMB Yes thats exactly the description. Top of cap measures 2 1/2 -2 3/4 inches accross. Your thoughts?
 
Where abouts do you live? There is a local outfit up here in Canada that often hunts that stuff down, or at least might be able to get a parts number for you. I will check that out and get back to you.
 
Talked to this fellow here in Edmonton and he told me that those caps have not been available for a long, long time, nor has he ever came across any in his purchases of new old stock, etc. That being the case, why not just change over to a newer Autolite model or a Delco distributor. There were a ton of those same engines (124, 140 and 162 sizes) that take the same distributor and they were on numerous other tractors and welders and industrial applications, even into the 70's. Just a suggestion that might be a better fix in the long run. Good luck.
 
Thanks so far for your help. I live in Northern NY, Ogdensburg, an hour from Ottawa. If it helps the numbers as best I could read them are on my orginal post.
 
I replied to this but I think I replied to my own post earlier. Check the forum for the result of my search. Thanks, MMB
