Point Gap For Super A With Distributor

Postby ricky racer » Sun Dec 31, 2023 4:15 pm

Can someone please tell me the correct point gap for the points on a Super A with a distributor ignition? All the manuals I've found on here are for a magneto ignition.
Thank you!

Take this for what it’s worth. The Super A and Super C use the same engine. The point gap for the Super C with battery ignition is .020.

All the IH distributors that look like the one on a Cub use a point gap of 0.020. (Advance curves vary, but the points portion is the same.)

Like Jim said, The distributor advance may differ between different models; otherwise the IH 4-cyl distributors are the same. 0.020 (thousands of an inch) for the point gap.
