Re: Atwater Kent distributor installation
I just looked and do not have it for that model. A VW 009 distributor condensor works great or one for a Mallory dual point.

Re: Atwater Kent distributor installation
Did a search on he Old Forum found one thread that has several members discussing instructions so one of them has what you need. The PDF file is now blank, otherwise it would have been the ticket http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/33 ... 1383587387
If the spacer is the same as for a American Bosch 600 distributor - 1/2 in in length and slides over end of the cam.... I have some (price of the stamp)

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Atwater Kent distributor installation
The Ford Owner has the instructions
or;
https://www.modeltford.com/item/AK2.aspx
The material in the "The Ford Owner" has a 1999 Copyright so am not going to copy it.
You will have to make your own rod that goes from the distributor to steering column, it has different shape and is longer then stock rod.

Re: Atwater Kent distributor installation
Here are four pictures of my original instruction sheet.
The first two pictures are of the first side.
The third and fourth picture is of the other side.
Hope this helps.
Holler if you need better pictures.

Re: Atwater Kent distributor installation
Upon further examination it appears my instruction sheet is a reprint that is currently available from Lang's. Since I don't want to violate any copyright laws or cause harm to Lang's, I wish my post could be deleted.
