PFindlay Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Can anyone tell me which cars used Clum ignition switches in the 20s? I believe Dodge Brothers did, anyone else? I've been told the the switch on early Harleys was actually a Clum switch and I'm hoping to find something similar. The Harley switch I'm after had a set of points inside that buzzed if the key was on and the engine not running. A battery saving feature, I guess. Has anyone heard of a Clum switch (or any other in the 20s) that does this? Thanks for any info, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Some of the makes that used Clum headlight switches were Chrysler, Durant, Kissel, Oakland, Pontiac, Desoto, Dodge, Packard, Studebaker, Graham, Plymouth, Rockne, and yet others. Useage varied quite a bit though even in single year between models with Delco and Soreng-Manegold being more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinneyhill Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 From 1929-1934, Clum IGNITION switches were used on some Franklins and by Kissel (sw. model 4790). In that period Chrysler brands used the headlight switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
