How To find nut or screw to loosen off distributor on my 1941 hudson

BernieBuechman

Would someone please help me to find the way of loosening off the dristibutor so I can set the timing.
I am not quite sure where the holddown nut or screw is for it.
the distributor in back in the firewall on my deluxe six. urgent as my car will not start.

On the rod between the vacuum advance and the distributer is a screw with a shoulder. loosen that and the distributer should turn.  There is a scale there to help you adjust timing. Put some oil on the screw to lubricate it as it is a hinge to adjust the timing while driving.
