Guest Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 My grandfather was in the automobile repair business untill 1955. I have quite a few old ignition points from his business that I am trying to identify. Is there a book that identifies old ignition parts?Lloydbob1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48LCCOUPE Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Welcome to the forum. Unless the parts are in boxes and/or marked with somebodys part number you are going to have a tough time. If you do have part numbers from Echlin, Delco, Ford etc., it still won't be easy but it can be done. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 My thinking is that because there was a limited number of manufaturers between say, 1925 and 1955 and many of those manufacturers would have kept the same design for a number of years, the information might be out there. The points I have vary in design quite a bit and I have a lot of some of those designs, which, might indicate they were for more common automobiles.If no one has cataloged the various ignition systems used in American automobiles, it might be an intertesting project to take on. It, pretty much, means popping off a distributer cap and taking an image.Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Try contacting Ben McAdan at AntiqueBenny@aol.com He knows ignition parts and can probably answer any question you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
