I need some help and please forgive me if I posted in wrong place. I don’t know how to work this forum very well. I have a customer that has a 51 packard straight 8. No spark. During testing I found no current flow from coil to inside the distributor this is caused by a small black case that says auto lite on it. Inside is is a small is a small light bulb. I used just a basic jumper wire with alligator clips to make vehicle run. But I’m having trouble finding out what this part is and how to get a new one. This car is all original and very clean so I’d like to help my customer keep it that way. Having trouble finding a web site to be able to order parts also like points and condenser… thanks in advance. Again forgive me I’m a modern car tech first ever Packard I’ve seen.
