Having just rebuilt my Lucas 25D distributor, I thought a Nylock nut would make sense on the points stud (you know, where the condenser and other wires connect)...or at least a few of the correct size nuts in the spare parts bag.
I'll bet it's a real common size that one could obtain anywhere, because it's so important and you could easily lose it out in the woods if you had to change points. Looks like a 6-32...
Nope. Hmmm. Metric? Nope. OK, let's get out the caliper and thread gauge.
Major diameter 0.138 inches. 38 threads per inch.
I can't believe it! A 6-38?? Who ever heard of a 6-38. I don't think that exists in the known universe...except from Lucas.
I've always got a good chuckle out of the BSF stuff and Lucas jokes, but this is BAD. Somebody set me straight. Where am I going wrong on this?
