Topic: 1940 Ford Distributor Cams?

  Is it possible to buy good/NOS distributor cams?

Does anyone reproduce it?

Thank you all in advance.

  What do you mean by a "Distributor Cam"? Are you referring to the rotor? The rotor is available from multiple vendors for the distributors used in 1937-41 Fords. You can find them from several of the vendors listed under the Links section of this website.

  carcrazy,

I am looking for the eight sided breaker cam that the breaker arms rub against, causing the points to open and close.

  They show up now and then on eBay.

  Zeke3,

I wanted to thank you for your recommendation of Southside Obsolete.

I dealt with Fred there-he was very knowledgeable and provided great service-he did have the parts I was looking for.

Thank you again sir!
