Restorer32 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 NorthEast 5031262. Currently on a '32 900. Number makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 My Packard data does not indicate that NorthEast # for any year/model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJD Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hello Restorer32 I just checked my Chiltons flat rate & tune up Manual the 1932 Light Eight 900 has a listing of the mfr's part number as 5028025 for the distributor assembly. However in the ignition timing section for the 903 & 904 it says "Distributor stamped no. 5,031,262 spark occurs on the standard head at 9 degrees before TC, High compression head at 7 degress before TC, and low compression head at 14 degrees before TC. " That is the only reference to the number you have. The same info is listed for the 900 except it has the word "and up" after the number but doesn't state "stamped no."I know it is as clear as mud but that is all I have available.

petri Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 My 32 Packard 900 has a Northeast type 5033450 dual point distributor. It is my understanding that while they came with single point distributors in 1932, Packard would retrofit this dual point distributor in 33 if you wanted it. They also would retrofit a Stromberg EE2 downdraft carburetor, an improvement on the updraft Detroit Lubricator. My car also has that mod. This information is in the literature somewhere.Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 We have seen several 900's with the '33 carb and manifold conversion. Better running I'm sure but not nearly as pretty as the DL carb setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
