V-Twin V-Fire Overhead Valve Auto Advance Distributor 74478D For Harley Big Twin

Chrome-bodied V-Fire auto advance distributor, fully assembled with gear and all internal parts, features a two-bolt flange.

Single-point type with updated timing marks, designed for Harley Davidson Big Twin models from 1936 to 1945, delivering reliable ignition for vintage restorations and customs.

The auto-advance mechanism simplifies timing adjustments by removing the need for a left-hand spark advance control, enabling a cleaner handlebar setup.

Installation requires removing the front cylinder head; the unit supports upgrade and ground-up rebuild projects for authenticity and performance.

Made in Taiwan with a zinc-plated finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

Compatible with chrome and zinc distributor covers and various circuit breaker screw sets (sold separately); the points plate assembly is available separately and can be updated for easier timing adjustments, including routing the points lead wire to exit toward the rear of the distributor.

Timing involves setting the cylinder to top dead center; distributor lobes govern points opening and closing for smooth operation. Front-side points simplify adjustments, and it works with ignition components like the Blue Streak Ignition Point Set.

Fitment includes Harley Davidson EL and FL models across 1936–1965 as listed in the product details.
