Petrol Fergy Distributor

[mick88]

Any Fergy experts?
I have a 135 Petrol and it needs the distributor reconditioned. I have three different distributor main shafts. One is stamped 13 degrees, the second 14 degrees and the third 15 degrees. Any idea which is the correct one for the 135? I realise that it will run with any of them but I prefer to put the correct one if possible.


Cheers, Mick.

I wonder if that relates to the degrees advance the centrifugal weights move the rotor shaft around?

Should then the shaft be matched for the octane rating rather than the engine type?

Pretty sure Bareco supply new points type distributors, as well as an electronic one. Just a thought.

Hi Mick

I should have asked first, which engine has your 135 petrol have in it?

They were produced with two completely different types, one is the popular engine produced by the Standard Motor Company, that four cylinder engine that goes right back to the early TEA20. The parts for these can just about be brought at the local Supermarket.

The other is a petrol version of the Perkins three cylinder. That rare here in Australia that the queue of Collectors waiting to get there hands on one, goes out the front gate and halfway down the road!

It's the Standard engine.
The stamped figures are for the mechanical advance.


Cheers, Mick.
