  1. My Autolite Distributer has an arrow head stud that the electrolock cable grabs.

     

    Inside the cable end are two curved brass jaws that resist removal of the stud..

     

    Once apart I had the stud re shaped to a shallow egg shape instead of the Blunt ended arrow head shape.

     

    Easier to remove cable end for adjustments.

     

     

  2. If I can identify your needs more accurately.......................

    what exact model # and engine.

    I'm looking in my old Hollanders and it lists interchanges by model and engine.

    With the info, I may provide other years and cars using interchangeable parts to help you.

    28 hudson ?

    Well, not 28, but body style similar to 1930 Hudson except for:

    Door hinges exposed

     Door window glass, severely tapered, Hudson's were rectangular.

    Rear window not Oval

    Highly raised bead shape around window reveals.

    No raised bead  on splash apron ( between body and running board.)

    Different spring attachment to LR  frame.

    ///////////////////// 

    Similarities to Hudson: 

     

    Raised triangular shaped character line separating upper and lower body. 1930 only

    Door handle mounted in center of character line  29 and 30 

    Brown taillight lens used by Hudson in 28 and 29 not 30 or 31

    Headlight bucket appears shaped like 30 Hudson

    But not a Hudson that I can see.

    Would like to know what it is too.

     

  4. 1927 Essex made by Hudson. 

     

    Essex chassis, look at right rear spring "dumb iron".

    Serial number should be stamped there. 

     

    The gas tank cover looks 26 but rear fenders seem curved with no character lines, perhaps 1927 and later.

     

    Front spring dumb iron is 1927 or earlier.

     

    Spare tire cups last used in 1927
