Gary_Ash Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I need a 3-speed transmission, without overdrive, from a 1937 President. I have a 3-speed with overdrive that I don't need and will trade, if anyone wants to trade. These are 1937-only transmissions.I also need a "spark modifier" (vacuum advance actuator), p/n 190443, from a 1937-40 President 8. My distributor (Delco-Remy 662M) is also missing one clip and retainer to hold the cap in place and the insulator post and screw that goes through the distributor body and connects to the external condenser.

studerex Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 GaryYears ago I converted Ken Holstes 37 coupe express to overdrive. I am pretty sure the standard trans is still on the shelf. I think the president and commander is the same? I'll look today.Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeq Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 There was no Commander in '37. President and Dictator only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I have a used vacuum advance. The 37 dictator trans is completely different from the president and will not interchange.
