hickory Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I am looking for the part number for a distributor cap for my BD 240 engine. I am wanting a better quality than the local parts stores have. Any help would be appreciated. Thank; Hickory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAVELETTE Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Pretty sure you need a Delco Remy 824735. Nice truck. You should buy a parts book, if you plan on keeping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWF Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Really a good looking truck! DWF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickory Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I believe the number you posted is for the shorter cap. Mine takes a taller cap. I will keep checking this out. Thanks; Hickory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAVELETTE Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Is your cap held on by clips or screws? Any chance of a part number tag or part number stamped on the distributor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickory Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Clips. Haven't found a tag yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAVELETTE Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I think your distributor may be a little newer than your truck. I can't find my S model parts book right now, but I did dig out around 80 pounds of Delco books. They show S models using the 824735. Under '59-'60 B models they show 1931512, which is retained by clips, and approx. 3" in height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustred Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 have you compared your cap to the engines in the 560 tractors? just suggesting. them old caps had brass contacts instead of potmetal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
