Anyone have instruction sheets for the Accel 37000 Series Distributor they'd be willing to duplicate and share?  Thanks.

Hello Colin,

I have a complete (legible but poor) copy of the instructions for the Accel BEI and 37000 Series Racing II Dual Point distributor.
I own two 37201T tach drive distributors. One with points one with a Petronix unit. I even tried to disguise one as a “Autolite Ford” unit.
Anyway, I’ve posted photos of the instructions. If you want me to email them to you shoot me a PM and your address. For the life of me I can’t remember where I got this from.

Cheers,
~Earl J

This is also applicable to the Accel 37000 series dual point distributors. The pic are the replacement “Accel” component number’s; points, cap, condenser etc and the dwell specs.
These 37201T tach drive units are popular with the guys running vintage Trans Am along with the Jones Motrola mechanical tachs (see pic). The tach I have has Bud Moore Engineering markings, look closely at the face.
The other distributors with tach drive for the SBF 289/302, BOSS302 are the Ford Motorsport M-12127-A302 (I believe made by MSD) and the MSD #8483 (see pics) identical to the Ford Motorsport A302.

Cheers,
