The cat distributor Pt # 4W0475 interchanges with Clark Pt #1806549. The Clark distributor is smaller in diameter at the cap than the Cat. I used the Clark dist. in a Cat V80E with the Perkins gas because the Cat dist was $750 & the Clark was $240.

The replacement Clark dist- which came in a Clark box turned out to be a Pertronix unit. I've replaced it twice under warranty in about 1 year

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
