Yes, it will fit a 55 Hudson and be an exact fit....EXCEPT that a 1955 Hudson or Nash is a 6V Positive ground car and in 1956 AMC changed their cars to 12V Negative ground. So the generator would be different for '55....its still an Autolite ignition....but the coil would have to be changed to a 6V coil to work on a 55 Hudson or Nash. My engine listed above is outfitted with the 12V system, generator, and coil.... Dig?

Selling a 352ci Packard supplied engine from a 1956 Ambassador V8. Good running engine removed several years ago from a rusty car.....Engine is complete including 2bl Carter carb and oil bath air cleaner. This Nash engine was supplied by Packard and has the more reliable AMC supplied oil pump with no vacuum pump in the crankcase and instead uses a dual stage fuel pump for the vacuum operated windshield wipers......Engine has a date code of 8/29/55.... Engine turns freely and has been correctly stored in dry storage with spark plugs periodically removed and Marvel Mystery Oil added to keep the block/pistons lubed..... $750.00 JimmyCFO@aol.com Local pick up from Ohio zip 44203 Photos are available on the Craigs List ad......

The top stainless trim is missing from the pedal because I removed this from a '56 Clipper. I think I am correct in stating that only the senior cars had the stainless trim on the pedals in '56. My intention was not to use the original rubber but since it is completely intact and in good shape I will see how long it lasts....I intend on ordering a new replacement pad in the near future and keep it on hand. I have had zero luck in removing old pads in one piece from cars of this vintage. They almost always break from age....

From the photos of the original pedal, you can see that I have also added a mechanical stop light/torsion level switch.....

BTW, here is my '55 Patrician.......all original car.....
