It's been a few years, and I would be hard-pressed to find my receipt, but I think it was less than $100. They will give you a quote first.

Check with these folks; they never cease to amaze me. https://mykmlifestyle.com/

Do you have one to rebuild? Or missing altogether?

My search for a coil for my '33 was being futile, so I sent mine to these folks and they rebuilt it. Nice Work. https://mykmlifestyle.com/

Probably also available here: https://special-interest-autos.com/

For reference, the 1919 Sixes were: Model EJ Light Six, 207.1 cid with 112" wheelbase Model EH Special Six, 288.6 cid with 119" wheelbase Model EG Big Six, 353.8 cid with 126" wheelbase If it's a Model EG it would make a pretty long Speedster, but an excellent limo or town car.

Apparently not.

I'm not at all familiar with the cars of the '20s but, can I assume this is NOT a Studebaker?

Private message sent.

Over three decades ago Packard Farms made one for my '33 Rockne, apparently out of well casing. Still as sturdy and functional as the day it was made. Someone should be able to supply some plans. Packard Farms was sold to Studebaker of California, which became Studebaker International, which has changed hands again.

A Model 10 Deluxe Rumble-seat Coupe in this condition would be a shame to part out. But time does march on, and decisions must be made.

These are not my parts. Any inquiries need directed to "Skyrocket" on the SDC Forum. https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/sale-want-found-cars/1925506-1929-president-parts-for-sale

Anything you share is going to be of value to someone. But share it with a post title that identifies what it is. When I read the title "Dykes", my immediate thought was about a pair of pliers or side-cutters with a sharp jaw to cut through wires.

The site also says, "If you don't see what you are looking for, make sure to contact us as we are able to provide gaskets for 99.9% of all inquiries." (360) 871-1207

I would check first with Olsen's Gaskets. https://www.olsonsgaskets.com/

Most any supplier will know what you want if you simply specify a "Group One" battery. I still get mine from Interstate.

This forum involves itself primarily with pre-war Studebakers, up to '41-'42. The '47 year was marketed as "First By Far With a Post War Car." As its complete new design beat the other manufacturers to the market. You will get a lot more eyes on your ad if you post it to the Studebaker Drivers Club Forum, very heavy in to all the Studebaker products after the war. To very precisely identify the vehicle, look under the hood. There should be a tag on the firewall on the passenger side. That's the body tag and will identify the year, model, body configuration and level of trim. https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/sale-want-found-cars

The "feeler gauge" is common to all vehicles, all manufacturers, especially those prior to the introduction of electronic ignition. Used for setting the gap in the spark plugs and the distributor points.

Assume we are discussing only pre-war Studebakers.

You would probably need to post some photos.

The SDC involves itself with the entire Studebaker line, from its inception. So, it would actually be more correct to say the Antique Studebaker Club specifically concentrates on the pre-war models, including ALL M-series trucks through 1948. If you have a choice to choose just one to join for help on your '17 model, it would be the ASC. If you have the option of joining both I would say go for it. I've been a member of ASC for thirty years, and of SDC for forty-five. https://antiquestudebakerclub.org/ https://studebakerdriversclub.com/

There's a sixteen year gap between your 1917 and my 1933. I would feel more comfortable if someone with an earlier model could post photos. For what it's worth, on my '33, some appear to be truss head and some appear to be oval head. I believe the truss head screws are minimally stronger than the oval head, but the oval head adds trim value where obviously visible.

I suspect it fit other models as well. Photo and/or part number might help.

Randy, I assume you are aware you are in the geographic center that spawned the family that moved to South Bend and made Studebaker a household name with anyone over the age of fifty. The 1790 home built by David Studebaker still stands at 200 W. King Street in East Berlin, Pa. And John Studebaker, who married Rebecca Mohler, established his blacksmith shop on what is now Studebaker lane just outside New Chester, before moving his family to Ashland Ohio and then to South Bend. https://studebaker-info.org/stupresence/stupresence.html https://studebaker-info.org/stupresence/stumon.html

Thank you! I've been very lucky.
