I was getting my voltage regular calibrated to accept a 8-volt battery rather than a six o n my 1940 180. When i went to pick it up they said I have something to show you, indeed it was a starter for a TWIN-SIX or Packard Twelve they stated it was all rebuilt and ready to go I have attached photos of the unit The tag came out a bit fuzzy but it was an Autolite MAX 4052. They would like $350 or so for it The place that has it is PRYOR auto electric company there located on 7156 Torresdale ave in Philadelphia Pa. Thier phone number is 215-338-1582

I ended up buying this car instead: 1940 Packard Custom Super 8 180. Far less $$ than the 34 and in way better shape.

Its a 7-pass sedan 1934 Super 8 I tried to buy it a number of times but the owner wants 50K even though it needs quite a bit of work. The body is solid and the engine fires up and runs strong.

Well apparently somehow the arm that pulls the switch that turns the headlight on got loose so managed to get it in and there I had lights back.

Well I know they worked the night the car was delivered because I turned them on. I was looking at the wire diagram and couldn't determine which wire is the power wire to the switch could someone more knowledgeable than I am point me in the right direction?

It did discharge me and a friend who is a mechanic drove it for a few hours and when we went to put it back in my garage the car died and would not restart. We had to push it in and boy that sucker is heavy!I pulled the battery out and it took over 12 hrs to charge it back up to full.
