@fixitman-307   Joe, Welcome to Chevy Chat.

 Chip will be along soon to tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and more) about your 1930 Electroloc. Again, welcome aboard.

Mike

try searching on the old forums as it was posted on 5/8/2008. I printed it out but it is rather long and there was no illustration. Perhaps Chip has something he can send that might include an illustration.

Here is an illustration that might help you.

While you wait for Chips detailed information, also do a search on the old forum, there is a lot of information. Old VCCA forum

I was missing most of the insulators but was able find useable alternatives at my Ace hardware. Some required a little work to fit. I used a plastic soda bottle to make the inside insulator(8 in the above picture).

@david-dunton thank you sir, I have #8 fortunately so now i have exploded view i can see what will be needed.

@morten-c most helpful Sir, thank you very much I printed it and gonna keep with rest of items I found

@35mike thank you

@steve-d thank you

The illustrations in the Standard Electricians Manual are the best I am aware. The most critical insulators are the "barrel" one that slides over the end threaded stud. It fits into the enlarged hole in the distributor. The other is an fiber type that keeps the spring on the point set from grounding against the distributor body. The connector on the moveable point arm has a slot that is sandwiched between a slightly dished rectangular washer and similar shaped threaded retainer. If those are missing many use a dished flat washer and hex nut. If you have problems with the attachment let me know. chevychip@yahoo.com is my email address.

@chip thank you sir,

i recieved that picture from another member and will see if i got all pieces. I use gary wallace in misouri for most parts, if I am missing any and he dont have them is there any resources out there you know of?

Also have this article from G&D in november 1973.

I haven`t done the repair myself, so don`t know if it`s correct in every detail.

I have rebuild over 100 Electrolocs and have spare parts. If the key lock cylinder is operational I can rebuild it. Too many have suffered from expansion of the internal die-cast (aka pot metal, white metal) parts. So far even boiling in peanut oil has not freed them.

@chip thank you sir, I have checked and I am missing some pieces to connect to distributor do you have a source to get these pieces?

@morten-c  This is awesome information thank you very much
