My 1948 3100 Thriftmaster has a 1954 passenger car 235 engine in it (swapped by the original owner years ago). Truck was also converted to 12v.

I would like to attempt the "stock appearing" electronic ignition upgrade explained over at Deve's Technical Network's website, but I would like to do this with a spare distributor and not the original one that's in my 235 engine now. Which means I will need to find another one to alter.

Are all 216/235 distributors for this era of truck (and the later 50's era passenger car 235s) the same?
