RoadsterRich Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 What Dodge Brothers motor car used the Dayton Engineering Laboratories Co. (Delco) 5151 Distributor? It would be for a 4 cylinder engine, the coil is mounted to the distributor assembly and would have had an odd shaped resistance unit on it. The drive shaft came in to the side of the housing, rather than from the bottom. Any information is greatly appreciated.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 1916-7 used Delco ignition but I cannot authenticate the 5151 part#. It would be made with same mounting as a magneto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadsterRich Posted October 27, 2002 Author Share Posted October 27, 2002 Thanks for the information. The description does sound about right. I don't have the car or the ignition system, I have a "care and maintenance" manual for one, Form No. 155 3-21-17-25M. Makes me wonder if the 3-21-17 would be a print date, and the 25M would be a run size. Back then as I recall M was 1000, not like today where M is often used for Million, which would translate to 25,000 copies. Probably reading way too much information in to those numbers, but I love to learn about things. The description and information is very interesting reading. It says it is:DELCO INSTRUCTIONS FOR THECARE AND MAINTENANCEOF THEDELCO IGNITION SYSTEM ONDODGE BROTHERS MOTOR CARSSixth EditionThanks again for the information, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
