Brad in Wisconsin Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 title pretty much explains, what is it for does the switch go thru the dash and coil live under dash? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richasco Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 That is a dash mounted coil. If you clean it up more you should find a number on the face plate. The prefix to the number will help you determine the application. This one looks a lot like that ones that were used in Willys vehicles. These are re-buildable and are sometimes sought after so don't throw it way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad in Wisconsin Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 You sir, are correct! Upon further examination. I discovered the number W0360 stamped on the lock body AND THEN noticed on the BASCO key switch also has W3060 stamped on it! Can you tell what year or so? In digging around in the shed where I got this I found the tattered remains of a black spare wheel cover with a bit of a logo starting with WI You guys are so helpful!

Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 This arrangement was fairly common in the late 20s,early 30s. I have a dash panel from a 30 Oldsmobile which features it.Hit the links to see the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richasco Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The WO360 is the manufacturer key code. A call or email to a place like Jesser's could probably confirm which manufacturer used that code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Did someone say Willys? W0360 is a correct key code for Willys ignition. Near as I can tell by studying the ignition lock pictured (p/n 503593 in attached graphic), Brad's coil assembly is for 1932 to 1934 Willys.
