Ignition System
The distributor is mounted on the
right side of the crankcase and driven
by gears from the camshaft. A single
breaker arm is operated by a six-lobe
cam. Automatic advance is incorpo-
rated so that the correct timing is given
at all speeds.
The oil cup (C), Figure 3, should he
filled with oil every 2,000 miles. At the
same time remove the distributor cap
(not shown) and rotor arm (D), placing
a few drops of oil on the wick in the top
of the shaft, one drop of oil on the
breaker arm pivot (B), and apply a light
coating of vaseline on the cam block
(A).
The breaker points should be adjusted
to .020" maximum opening. The points
should he clean and set squarely on each
other. If the points become pitted it is
necessary to remove them and grind
smooth or replace with new ones. The
grinding should be done in a special
machine to insure proper seating. This
operation should he done by an Autho-
rized Terraplane and Hudson Dealer.
Filing or honing of the points will
remove oxidization from the points but,
due to the hardness of the tungsten alloy
used, this method is not practical for
removing deep pits.
The ignition timing is determined by the
position of the piston when the distribu-
tor breaker points begin to open. In gen-
eral, the points should begin to open
when the piston reaches its highest posi-
tion in the cylinder. This position of the
piston is referred to as upper dead center
and is indicated by U. D. C. Marks are
placed on the flywheel to indicate when
this position of the piston has been
reached.
