What does an ignition contact set do?
The contact set (points) opens and closes the ignition primary circuit as the distributor cam turns. Each opening signals the coil to fire a spark plug.
Which vehicles does FD-6770 fit?
It is listed for many vehicles, among them the 1946-1948 Ford Super Deluxe, 1937-1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pickup and 1948 Ford F-1. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Do I need to adjust the points after installing them?
The set comes pre-aligned and pre-adjusted to save installation time. Check the point gap and dwell against your vehicle's service information after installation.
What is the felt pad for?
The lubricated felt pad lubricates the distributor cam lobes. This reduces wear on the point set's rubbing block and extends the part's usable life.
What are signs the contact set may need replacing?
Hard starting, misfiring, pitted or burned contacts, or a worn rubbing block may be signs the contact set needs replacing. Diagnose the cause first, since other ignition parts can cause similar symptoms.
