I have my 8N front mount distributor on the bench and recall some posts about a fiber washer causing trouble. Can't find anything like that. Does anybody have a picture? thought as long as I had it on the bench I might as well do whatever it needs

Nextly, there is a wire bale on top of the advance plate that doesn't show in the I T photos. Does this do anything?

Happy New Year to All, etc.

now I am really confused--does this washer go under the condensor lead on the brass coil screw?

is this a special [FNH] part or would any electrically insulating washer work?

thanks for the help to date

There is a fiber insulator that insulates the coil connection from ground. It is part of that top hat bracked that holds the front bushing in place. When the points and capacitor are changed and the brass screw is overtightened, it will cause the fiber insulator to short out. The threaded insert where the brass screw goes into, has a sqare brass boss that when it is turned it may break the insulator. The bale on top of the advance plate keeps the point plate in place.
Happy Motoring
