W9 ignition

[Jim Ma]

Can a distributor off a C,H,M,400 etc be converted to run on a 9? My mag is semi worn out and have a decent one off a 350 I could use.

thanks
Jim

the w9's distributor is counterclock wise rotation. those others are clockwise. so inspect your point plate and see if there is a difference. weights would be different also.

thanks for the reply, looks like im out of luck with this one. I knew that it runs CCW but didnt know the weights and back plate would be different was well. Thought It might be as simple as flipping the orientation.

I though only the diesels were counter clockwise rotation.?My WD9(diesel) is counter clockwise,so is my friends 400D,and my newly purchaced 450D. The gas tractors are the same as the other gas tractors in the line.I used to have a gas I9. IIRC it's distributor was clockwise rotation. However,I could be wrong....

the w9 gas is counterclockwise same as the diesel. due to the idler gear in the timing gears.
