fred deagostino Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I have a '40 282 engine that I'm just finishing up and just recently discovered that Points and condensor are not available for the Auto-Lite distributor. That's a bad thing! Has anyone else run across this hiccup in their travels? The tag number (as near as I can read it) is 1GP 450 A 4u. I was wondering if I could just modify the plate to accept an easily found point set? Your collective thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernardi Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Sounds like a candidate for a PerTronix kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bkazmer Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Ignition parts are still available for a 40 120, unless the Autolite vs. Delco is a big deal. I assume you have checked the Packard part specialists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper47 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I think you should have no problem getting points or condenser. Ask at your neighbourhood NAPA or failing that try Kanter or Max Merritt etc. I am sure you will find what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JT Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 There's also some listed on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper47 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I bought a box of 10 Autolite point sets on E-Bay for my '47 for about $30. If the points are the same I could sell you a set or two. Does anyone know offhand if the points are the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Packards1 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 The points should be the same. I believe the Packard number is 354262. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbrakeman Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 If Dave has a 1947 clipper super, the points are different. Large 8 (356) with autolite use IGP-3028MS or packard # 354263. Small8 or 120 use IGP-3028KS packard #354262. Good Luck.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred deagostino Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thanks everyone. Fortunatly for me my local NAPA guy and his dad own a '39 120 so he has a soft spot for my project. I'll have the poor devil pour over his books and see if he can turn something up. I actually didn't even give NAPA a thought (Sheeesh)! That failing I'll try Merritt, Kanter didn't have them nor did Terrill. I'll check out the ebay lead also. Thanks much for the quick responses!

Guest JT Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 In addition to the Autolite p.n. of IGP-3028KS the Echlin p.n. is CS-16Z or CS-16. Last time I checked with NAPA they had the cap, rotor and plugs but did not have the point set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
