I have a 52 A with a Delco-Remy #1111558 distributor.
Does the cap have the poles 90 degrees apart or 180 degrees apart? It has a 12 volt system.
I put a new exhaust on and she still doesn't sound right.

Mike, it depends on the cap & rotor you have. ~Here's the bottom line...your "A" distributor is driven off the end of the governor shaft so the distributor spins at crankshaft speed. That means a rotor tip must line up with a cap tower contact every 180� of crankshaft [or distributor] rotation. That isn't true on the 20 or 30 numbered series that have a cam driven distributor, those line up every 90� in the distributor as the distributor spins at 1/2 crank speed.
~Want you want to do is...bring your L/H piston to TDC [the flywheel slot should then be parallel with the ground], then make sure the rotor has a tip lining up with the #1 [L/H] plug wire cap contact, then spin the crankshaft 180� [1/2 revolution] & make sure there is a rotor tip lining up with the #2 [R/H plug wire] cap contact..... .

Thanks for the help, Mr. Clooney. I'll go check her out- think I can figure it out from here.
