MG Midget and Sprite Technical - dating distributors
Looking for confirmation here Chaps...My 40819 distributor has been on my GAN4/12CC car since at least 1975 ['cos I've owned it since then] and there is a number stamped on the casing beneath the id number - "1166". Were these date stamped?? It would tie in with its manufacturing date [Nov-Dec 1966]from the heritage cert. many thanks as ever to wiser heads than mine Dave |

The first two numbers are the week of manufacture and the second two are the year. So your distributor was made early March 1966 |

Where are you going on your date? ;o) I concur with Bob - week and year. |

A venue.... Well the love a between a boy and his distributor is a special special category of the bdsa world of erotica for sure so only the most discerning of fetish evening would be an appropriate date Im going to suggest a weekend retreat for you and your distributor at the 32nd annual poison oak festival comming up in sept. It promises to be a ""ITCHY"" good time... bring your own calamine lotion if wish to explorer thur touch...haha No really, its a real weekend event in sept. Even poison ivy and sumac plants are.welcomed but kept on a leash Prop http://www.columbiagazette.com/poison.html |
