The Eldo distributor is a common Marelli unit. The thing that changes from
vehicle to vehicle are the lobes on the distributor shaft to lift the points.
Two cylinder engine = two lobes. Four cylinder engine = four lobes. Easy.
Some of you newer loopframe owners may not realize that NAPA and others
supply points to fit your distributor. Just ask for an early to mid '60s
FIAT 600D. Same distributor. Same points. Different lobes on the shaft.
