    Step plates if your running boards are wide enough . I cut my step plates down to fit .

    Distributor IGT-4201-1 cap IGP-1003 , rotor IGP-1016B , contact set ( points ) IGP -3028GS , condenser IG3927F , breaker plate assy IGT-3004A All AuotLite numbers , ebay is a good place to look .

    There is one nut on the underside in the middle that must be removed from underneath . There have been photos posted of all of the fasteners , perhaps you can find the photos with a forum search .

    The distributor cam lube ? I couldn't find it locally so I ordered it from Macs Ford Parts 877-230-9666 , they sell parts for the old Fords . You might find it at a tractor parts supply company . How much to put on ? Hard to say , you don't want it to splash around onto the points yet enough to do the job .

    And here I was thinking that I should have done more to help you by offering some of my NOS stash ! I wonder if anyone else has had this problem with the phenolic failing , other than normal wear ? And were the points Auto-Lite ? And did you use the proper distributor cam lubricant ?
  6. Jerry Roberts
    Plymouthy , Yes , all of the AutoLite points that I have bought have had the phenolic breaker cam lever .
  7. Jerry Roberts
    Ebay usually has the NOS AutoLite parts . I have stocked up .

    It seems that he found the problem .

    Ed , The one that I used in my truck was not an exact fit at all , there was a lot of fitting and modification and I will not recommend it to others . At the time there was not an economical model available and today I would buy one of those on ebay that bolt right in , even though they are still a little high in price . The aluminum radiators sure cool nicely though .

    An exhaust pipe hitting the floor ?

    Using Parts Voice web site ; Collectors Auto Supply , Blaine Wa . 98230 shows part number 865891 in stock .

    You can run the pressurized aluminum radiator with a non-pressure cap , that is what I am doing with my truck and it runs at 160 degrees .

    Some of the cylinder head studs and some of the water pump studs also go into the water jacket .

    If your lens is like mine , just grab the lens and bezel and pull straight off .

    For the grease for the outside of the cam where the points ride ; Sold by MACS Auto Parts they sell products for the old Fords .
  16. Jerry Roberts
    It should not fit flush with the headliner , it must be spaced down a little bit so that the bezel and lens has enough room to snap in place . The original had flat leather washers used around the screws as spacers , perhaps 1/8 thick or less . Probably some flat faucet washers would work here , or just cut your own washers with a Harbor Freight hole punch set .

    ... " of course it's like $250 for a new Switch " ... I don't know if your 47 is a Plymouth or a Dodge , but I see switches on ebay for 1947 Plymouth starting at $14... $30 .
  18. Jerry Roberts
    It sounds like your ignition switch is broken . If you turn the switch off , it should kill the engine .

    Young Ed is a big guy who drives these trucks , perhaps you can wait until he jumps in here . Or send him a message .

    I just sat in my 1941 Plymouth truck with the stock seat and measured my headroom clearance . 8 inches . I am 5 ' 10 " tall . Also the seat in these trucks is adjustable , with three positions for the base , I drive mine with the seat base all of the way back .
  21. Jerry Roberts
    See reply # 2 , i did mine without heat as it was soft steel .

    I don't know if your handles are the same , but , some have a long square shank that gets bent or twisted and can be straightened .

    The clutch inspection pan or clutch cover pan has a thick felt seal . One member got some felt from a fabric store and made his own .
  24. Jerry Roberts
    Um , NO . Not usually . There is a write up on the project . Go to Technical ( along the top headings for the main page ) . Then go to Tech Tips . Also do a search as the topic has been covered many times covering all aspects .

    Put a little MMO in the gas too .
