Pollack Pete 2,273 #1 Posted August 21, 2016 This has probably been discussed here many times before,but I don't know how to do a search for discussed info.Anyone know of a source and or part numbers for a set of ignition points and condenser for a WH D-250? Had mine running today and it quit suddenly.Thought it ran out of gas.Put in gas.Still no run.Checked for spark.....nothing.Tried a new coil.Still no spark.Gotta be points and condenser.Thanks for any and all info.

squonk 38,842 #2 Posted August 21, 2016 Renault parts! If you can take the points and cond out, and have Napa near by that has kept the books around, they can match them up in an Echlin buyers guide. If they don't, take some pics and post them and I'll see what I can find. I kept a lot of the books when they went all electronic cataloging. Much easier to use a book when trying to match a pic. I used to have to do this for Continental engines. If you can do it for those, you can do it for anything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,641 #3 Posted August 21, 2016 You might file the ign points and see if that does it. My '56 Ford sits without being used for more than 6 months at a time and will die unexpectedly after starting and running sometimes. Last 2 times Had spark again after I used a point file.

squonk 38,842 #4 Posted August 21, 2016 See if either one of these look like your points: http://s7d9.scene7.com/s7/zoom/flasht_zoom.jsp?company=GenuinePartsCompany&sku=482794&config=GenuinePartsCompany/GPC-DBLCLK-ZOOM&locale=en&vc=image=GenuinePartsCompany/482794,GenuinePartsCompany/482796,GenuinePartsCompany/482795 http://s7d9.scene7.com/s7/zoom/flasht_zoom.jsp?company=GenuinePartsCompany&sku=97924&config=GenuinePartsCompany/GPC-DBLCLK-ZOOM&locale=en&vc=image=GenuinePartsCompany/97924,GenuinePartsCompany/482831 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pollack Pete 2,273 #5 Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks Sqonk.Neither contact set looks like mine.My primary wire from the coil goes to an insulated stud that goes through a hole in the side of the distributor.The movable contact spring attaches to this stud inside the distributor.Problem with all the local Napa stores is there's no one working that's over 25 years old.No one can look up parts in a book.Every ones a computer operator.

stratostar250 919 #7 Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Had to do a LOT of searching through the forum, but I was doing it for my own keep as well in case I need the numbers one day as well. I found Duane (baerpath) posted this a few years back, Duane had upwards of 6 or 8 d250s in the past, so if there is one person who knows, im sure it'd be him. Send him a PM if you can't find anything.

squonk 38,842 #10 Posted August 24, 2016 looks similar to that first one I listed. I'll look in my book but I don't have much faith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,842 #11 Posted August 24, 2016 This is the closest I could come up with: # CS251 They are a Renault points set but not quite the same.
