Below is the email from last week, the early 100-Six wasn't listed so
I ran down stairs to check mine

>From my Longbridge BN4 (2 port head)

Dist 40532B
Vacuum Advance Unit 421189 5-12-8

The date on mine is 11-56

So it appears that the distributor stayed the same through the MM head
change.  That at least widens the cars that a replacement can be
found.

Rich, sorry I don't have a spare
