Questions: i rebuilt my distributor a few months back. A rebuild kit from you. My number 2 wasn't firing unless i pushed the cap towards the fire wall. Changed all the points cap etc ran like a top. Ran good for a while then one day I drove it about a half a mile and right before I was about to park it it started falling on its face then shut off. Thought it was a fuel issue. Dirty filter. Changed it and the line because it was hard and brittle, still wont run. I rebuilt the carb 3 years ago and have not had one single issue since. I keep aviation gas in it. So i figured maybe it was time again but before i did that i checked the manifold gasket between carb and block decided to replace it. Thing fired right up. Ran for 5 minutes then died. I've not been able to get it to run since. I got a master rebuild kit for the carb still the same result. Checked the fuel pressure from the pump its 3lbs. It'll turn over 3 or 4 times and hit, fire whatever you want to call it but thats it. All it'll do. Tonight beings I know the carb is fresh and fresh new gas I decided to check timing for the 15th time. Got it on TDC took the cap off distributor was a little off. Lined it up as close to number one as i could and got a little more try out of the motor. It wouldn't just hit once then disengage the starter. I played around with it for a while but still couldn't get it to run more than a sec. I was gonna order a distributor thinking it must be a electrical problem beings thats the most action i've gotten out of it since this started. I've got fire at my points and plugs. Really good spark. Which makes me think otherwise, but its literally the only thing I haven't tried. Its a F head 134 motor by the way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ive been trying to get this thing running for 2 months now. I'm ready to shoot it with my shotgun lol.

Answer By: Willys Jeep Parts Tech on Nov 24 2020 5:36 AM
Questions: I am having a very strange problem with my 1946 cj2a 4-134. This has happened 3X and just happened again.
it will start 2 -3 times and then will not start at all. I have tracked it down to the distributor Cap. I always have spark at the points. I replaced the coil and some wiring. Every time I replace the distributor Cap, it starts right up. I run it for 3-4 miles and it runs perfect. I then go to put in the garage and it will not start. The first time I replaced distributor it needed it. It was sitting for 4 years. The second time I had parts from the Cap in the bottom of distributor (distributer was a little different from original. the little tip at the top broke off). I just put in a third one which I know is the correct one.
It ran perfect. I took it out a second time and was letting it idle and I noticed there was oil on the ground. The oil line from Filter was leaking. I tried to start it and it would not start.
So I ordered a new line from you. I doubt the oil line is related to the starting issue, but at this point I am ready to throw in the towel. I am leaning towards getting an entire new distributor which it looks like u have in stock (this is a 6 volt).
This issue feels like a country song. I am beside myself on this. I have owned this for 30 years and never had a problem like this. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks for your Time.
Ed
Question By: Edward Nelson on Nov 21 2020 4:29 PM

Questions: This distributor fits my '51 Jeepster F-134. I plan to keep it 6-volt and this distributor is appropriate. I wanted to upgrade to the Solid State version but it is listed as 12-volt only. So, will this standard 6-volt version accept (easily) an after-market Solid State upgrade? If so do you offer that? thanks.
Question By: Richard McFarland on Dec 10 2017 4:23 AM
The only way to change to a solid state distributor is by changing the voltage of the vehicle to 12 volts. If the vehicle is staying at 6 volts, than this is correct distributor for your application.
