Steve. Working on a Hercules 3 cylinder gas engine in an Oliver Crawler. Delco distributor number 1111897. Doing they make a Pertronix kit for it?

I dont know, but it appears this might work.. I would take the Pertronix part number--- - 4471131--- and e-mail them to confirm. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Hi Don! Sorry, it's been a while since I been on the forum. Been busy with leave detail around the property. That 1111897 Distributor was a weird one. I worked on one of those a looong time ago, and I think that's the Distributor they used a 6 cylinder cap on and had three towers blocked off. (?) I went through the Pertronix catalog and didn't see it listed under 3 cylinder Oliver. I then checked by Distributor number and came up empty. As Steve mentioned probably a call to Pertronix is in order to see what the Devil is available for that goofy Distributor. Sorry, couldn't help ya on that one.........

You are correct on the cap, although that cap is long obsolete and now its is just a straight up 6 cylinder cap. This whole thing has been a challenge to overhaul. That little 3 cylinder Herc is a good little motor, but it is long obsolete ------------- Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes.
