I did the full restoration 15 years ago. Internet was not what it’s now and relied heavily on a Willys specialist here in Colombia, and some books
Now I’m going to do a small paint job and noticed that the distributor and generator are not the correct ones. The car was delivered dec 1942. But I was thinking maybe in using a IAD 4008 Autolite. Also the break drums were not the correct ones.

Thanks for your reply.

12 of 42 would be the igc4705 with maybe a 11w date code.

4008 did not come into play till 44 per jeep draw.

sooo what do you really want.

I haven’t seen one of those for sale anywhere. I’ll wait if one appears.

Great news.

There’s no hurry. It has been working fine with his non original distributor and it’s done 2000 miles in 15 years.
