1930 AUBURN 8 125 CAB

Hi,

I am based in the UK and am looking for a distributor cap and points for an 8-125 cabriolet. Are you able to help or point me in the right direction? Thanks

John,

I am surprised that no one has answered your question. Like the Cord L-29, the Big 8 engine has 27 studs. I believe they are 7/16 dia fine thread. The correct torque is 65 - 75 ft lbs wet. Make sure you torque from the center out in a symmetric pattern so as not to apply pressure unevenly to either one side from center.

The distributor per the 8-125 factory parts list is a 657-L and the High compression distributor is a 657-N.

+HELP ME PLEASE
I WOULD LIKE TO TORQUE DOWN THE CYLINDER HEAD OF MY 1930 8-125 LYCOMMING MOTOR FITTED TO MY 1930 AUBURN CABRIOLET IT HAS NOW DONE 300 MILES SINCE THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID THE RECONDITION WHAT FOOT LBS SHOULD I USE ? THANKS JOHN
P.S. THIS CAR HAS A DELCO REMY 657L DISTRIBUTER IS THIS CORRECT? JOHN
