Note 1. There are two distributor shafts found in 43D4 distributors. The more common shaft has a longer points cam than the relatively rare shaft with a short cam. Remove the rotor and measure the distance from the top of the distributor shaft to the top of the points cam. A dimension of about .420" indicates the shaft with the longer points cam. Distributors with this shaft will take the Ignitors indicated in the table above. A dimension of about .525" indicates the short points cam. The Ignitors will not work in distributors with this shaft.
