    My guess is Dodge Brothers, but other car Co.s used NE too. A pic would sure help.

    Condensor I'm pretty sure is 30-32 Packard as the number matches. I believe the rotor is 28-32 8 cylinder Packard, hopefully picture will confirm?

    From my 1934 Automotive Electric Assn catalog, North East 5022901 condenser fits: Chrysler Marine 1930; Cunningham 1929-30; Packard 1928-31; Sterling Engine 1929 & 1932-34.
    Niehoff 1931 catalog also confirms Packard 1928-30.

    The 20990 number doesn't appear in any of my aftermarket ignition catalogs that cover 1920-1940 applications?

    The 20990 number is what is cast into the rotor. The rotor and condensor were together amongst my Dad's stash, and the rotor matches a picture of the 28-32 NE Rotor researched elsewhere, so I am comfortable that I've got them ID'd now. Thanks for the help.
