J.3. AND PEREGRINE IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR
We recommend that the sparking points in the distributor head on this distributor be made of brass and the H.T. rotor blade nickel.
Our tests show this combination to be superior to the present standard stainless steel parts from the point of view of wear and general condition.
