Atwater/Kent replacement rotor and cap

Post by JvanMaanen » Sun Jun 12, 2022 9:55 am

I have an Atwater/Kent front plate with a type RA distributor head. I am thinking about using this on my 19 roadster project, but before I do would like to know if there is a source of replacement rotors and caps for the Atwater/Kent units. My parts are in good shape, but would be nice to have spares for the tool box.

Thanks Van

I believe Tom Van Meterhorn (sp) carries vintage ignition parts - he posts here once in a while.

I had some for the type LA clip on Atwater Kent, The problem would be finding them. Due to them being 140 miles away (one way), gas prices, and COVID, I don't know when I'd lay my hands on them.
