All,

A little help please. I have the following parts from my shelf and cannot remember for what car they were intended. Probably for a Packard, BUT I'm not sure of the exact application because I once had a 1953 Packard Patrician (now sold) and currently have the '55 400 which is restored.

Help appreciated by someone so inclined. BTW, I attempted to have a parts guy at local major parts house help me, but he looked at me like I was from Mars or someplace similar.

Niehoff DR3HV - points (contact set)
Niehoff DR62 (in bold) DR972 (smaller print)- distributor cap
Niehoff DR20 / PT520 - condenser

Thank you.

Kevin,

Google shows Niehoff DR3HV points as fitting Corvette 56-61 dual point distributor (2 needed). Probably other dual point Delcos from that era as well.

The same distributor uses DR22 condensor, but Google shows an army (military Jeep?) application for DR20.

This PackardInfo thread lists the DR62 as 51-56 Packard:

Scheesh! What the h e double-toothpick? Keith previously mentioned how hard it is keep track of all the part numbers and vendors.
