Seeking distributor for 308

Unknown

According to Pertronix, the "newer" dist for the 308 was made between 1950 - 55. Maker Autolite - IAT Series



Alternatively, a breaker plate for the older 48 - 49 dist would work. I'm pretty sure I can fix the one I've got, but a backup would be nice.



Any other dist options I might consider? Is there a more modern / common replacement that will work with the 308?



Thanks;

There have been some discussions in the past about using mid-'70's Chrysler electronic distributors- supposedly the only modification you have to make is machine a tiny bit off the shaft where it enters the block. Somebody hanging around the board surely knows the specifics.

Very sorry. Spammers make this crap necessary. Wish they'd just work for the DMV.
