Clipper47 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have a box of 10 Auto-lite 1-14 (IGW3028XS) point sets which I purchased for my 1947 Packard. They don't quite fit. I find in my reference books that the No. IGW3028 is correct for some Packard models. What the Xs signifies I cannot find an answer. If anyone has an Auto-lite parts book who would be able to identify which models of cars or trucks these point sets fit I would be very grateful. Thanks. Photo Attached.

Clipper47 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Thanks. They were supposed to be for Packard but don't fit right in my 1947 356" engine distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progoofoff Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 You must a have something other than a w/IGT distributor. Whatever a w/IGT distributor is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JT Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 IGT is the Autolite distributor prefix. The points for the 40-50 super eights should be IGP-3028-MS. I don't know what the X stands for. How do these points differ from your original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper47 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 The distributor is an Auto-Lite IGT-4023 Distributor and the point set listed for it is, as JT wrote, a IGP-3028-MS. The points I have will fit but the flat spring notch is a bit to long and in order for the point to fit the spring must be bowed out to fit which probably puts added pressure on the rubbing block. In other words they work but are not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JT Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Is it possible (if I understand correctly) to shorten the spring steel and make a new notch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper47 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 JT, It may be possible I have thought the same thing myself. Perhaps I will give it a try on an old set to see if it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper47 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 To the top. I am cleaning my garage and still have these point sets. I am hoping someone might be able to help identify which vehicle these point sets fit. The cross references provided seem not to be correct.

drwatson Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Auto-lite 1-14 (IGW-3028-XS) point set is an enigma. I'm wondering if A-L did a recall??Other brands offer their version of IGW-3028-XS, crossover charts have:Ampco- AL36 Filko- 76-101 Echlin- CS17Guaranteed- AL9397The Ampco & Filko catalogs I checked had extensive application info on their pages but nothing on IGW-3028-XS or the substitutes listed.PS: I can't find the crossover Martin describesPPS: Splitting hairs, The "I" on the box looks like a exclamation mark "!"

roysboystoys Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The X usually means vented ( hole in center of point contact) and extra spring pressure.Don't know why this is underlined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1928s6 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hi drwatson The AL36 / IGW3028 is what I use in my Essex and if you are not wanting to keep these I would be keen to buy - do let me know. Do they have the small screw piece? Thanks Alistair Howard, New Zealand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might try sending him a private message about your interest in the plugs. Jim Edited March 23, 2016 by drwatson (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
