My 1933 A10/4 came with a DJ4A distributor. As is referenced elsewhere.
On investigating my lack of power out on the road I found balance weights below the points plate.
Broken springs and stuck down the side of the weights is what my problem was so no advance as revs built hence no power. The weights were stamped 8 degrees. I filed the holes out a bit to give closer to 10 degrees.
I got a selection of second hand springs from The Distributor Dr and the smallest set was perfect.
So maybe just for A7 no auto advance . I assume manual though.
