Speedway Motors 9108353 Details

Speedway Motors offers this billet aluminum electronic distributor for the fabulous '32-'41 Flathead Ford V8 with the 3-bolt mount. This distributor is a "ready-to-run" unit that does not require a control box.

  • Simple install and setup
  • Improves performance and efficiency
  • Does away with finicky, out-dated points style ignition system

We suggest a 12v coil 447-45001 (chrome) or 447-45011 (black) to be used with this distributor (note when using either of these coils, a ballast resistor is NOT used they meet the distributors requirements for ohms of resistance). We also suggest our spark plug wire set 910-64200.

Overall Assessment

Customers overwhelmingly praise our product, an electronic distributor. The common thread in all reviews is its easy installation and the immediate improvement in engine performance. Users appreciate its "plug and play" nature, the removal of the need for points, and its precise timing. In several instances, customers installed our distributor and had their vehicle running smoothly almost instantly. Users also highly value its fit and aesthetic appeal. The distributor is recommended for its excellent value and usability, consistently superior to traditional points systems in older vehicles. It's noted that our product is a great solution for improving old flathead engines, providing a smooth-running upgrade. Some users did find the instructions lacking and some users had to buy an additional adapter.

This distributor fits perfectly,looks great, was easy to install & makes my 1940 Ford flathead v8 run 100% better. It also gives me the option to fine tune the timing; which you are not able to do with the original distributor.

I recently purchased and installed the 32-41 Ford Flathead 3 Bolt Electronic Distributor on my 81 T Flathead V8. Now my battery keeps going dead. My question is how many amps are being drawn by this distributor. Note - I had my generator and voltage regulator checked out. Thanks in advance for any info.

i purchased this 1932-41 3 bolt distributor for my project car and im trying to get the other parts needed to install it. im a little confused with the install instructions supplied with the unit. Im converting my generator to 12 volts and an external voltage regulator has to be used as well. it says that if the flamethrower 1.5 ohm coil is used then a ballast resistor is not required but in the install instructions supplied with the distributor it shows a ballast resistor in figure #1 and it also shows a control box too. so im confused? should this unit be installed like in figure #2 but with the ballast resistor removed and the square coil shown changed to the flame thrower coil (part# 44745011)

I am thinking of fitting one of these distributors to my 1940 ford V* flathead. Currently it uses a Divers Helmet twin points system which has a vacuum from the manifold to the distributer. What do I do with this vacuum? Thanks in Advance
