Can some one help with the following:
1940 110 6 cylinder, Is the correct distributor an Auto-Lite IGC? If so, can I find parts from Napa?
(My parts guys was showing it as IGW for 1940 only.)

Does anyone have the current part numbers for the ignition kit?

At this point, I can't determine what I should be looking for............ All I know is I've got a skip under load that is driving me crazy!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to the A.E.A. Universal Catalog of O.E.M. parts, the 1940 "110" should have an Auto-Lite IGC-4505 or a Delco 1110092.

There are some NAPA vintage car charts already on this site which you can check for more recent part numbers but in the end you'll have to ask the NAPA counterman to check for you.

Original Auto-Lite service parts were:

Breaker point set: IGP 3028FS
Contact arm: IGP 3028
Contact point: IGC 1149
Cap: IGC 1107S
Rotor: IGS 1016B
Vacuum chamber: VC 3060 KS
Ignition coil: CE 4644 or CE 4652
Service coil: CE 3224VS for CE 4644
CE 3224 US for CE 4652

IGW series was used in Studebaker and Willys in the 30s but I do have an old Standard catalog that shows IGW in 1940 Packard. Perhaps you should consult the Packard parts book to see what they say.

OD,
As always,you're a great help!
Thanks again,

Added a bit more info to the prior post.

Packard parts manual confirms the A.E.A. numbers for Delco and Auto-Lite. The 1939 "Six" used an IGC 4505, or an IGW 4143.

Hello all. Can't help anymore than OD, however I do need the distributor clamp for my 120. Any leads appreciated.
Maybe one will show up in Frederick.

Thanks Fred D

My info for the 1940 six shows Autolite dist numbers IGW-4143, IGW-4143A & IGC-4503. There was no vacuum advance used on the 1940 I believe. Old Eclin NAPA part numbers for the Autolite are ignition points CS-9, condenser AL-88/AL-71, cap AL-59, rotor AL-58.

I was looking at the wrong column the other day, here's the data on the 1940 "110" from the A.E.A. OEM Supplier catalog.

Dave,
I'm really confused now.
The distributor is an A-L IGC 4503, The cap is an A-L IGC 1107.
Ny Napa guy orders a AL-59 cap based on this info. This cap is much smaller than the original.
Your thoughts............

You'll have to get an answer from JT120, he came up with the replacement cap #.

PS - my reference doesn't cover 1940 but shows 1939 Six calls for an AL-99 cap.

Apparently something has changed with the Napa cross reference. I gave my Napa guy the dist part number and he also came back with AL-59.
Definitely the wrong cap................
