RickSchneider Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 I'm wondering if someone could help me understand the parts numbers for my distributor assembly. I have a 48 Plymouth with 49 Dodge engine # D30-196i03, the distributor part no. is 1308206, so would I look under the column of assembly of 1300 795 or 1479 589? Thanks for any help Quote
desoto1939 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 The moe important number is to look at the Autolite number that is attached to the body of the distributor. It will have three letter then some numbers. This is important becasue it will then tell us what offical dizzy you have and then we can tell the correct cap, rotor, points and condensor that you need for your car and also the correct vacuum advance unit. I have an Autolite catalog that lists the various information and parts so that is how I can get the information. When going to a vendor such as Andy Berbaum they will always ask for the Autolite Dizzy number so they can get you the correct parts. When searching for parts most times you will not find the mopar numbers on boxes or parts but you will find the aftermarket suppliers that supplied the parts to the car manufacturers. Autolite was a major player in electrical components for alot of car companies. Rich HArtung cell 484-431-8157 Desoto1939@aol.com Quote
RickSchneider Posted June 17, 2018 Author Report Posted June 17, 2018 Ok, when I ordered a tune up kit from Andy Bernbaums last month they ask for the part no. on the distributor, but the Autolite number is IGS 42078-1, I saw on RockAuto some of their distributor parts also have oem part numbers, I'm just trying to figure out how to order some parts on my own for later on. Thank You Quote
Jerry Roberts Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Please note there is an error in your Autolite distributor number ; The correct number is IGS- 4207B-1 . Here are some of the Autolite part numbers ; cap = IGC-1107S rotor= IGS-1016B contact set (points ) = IGP-3028ES condenser= IG3927G breaker plate assy= IGS-3004B Edited June 17, 2018 by Jerry Roberts Quote
desoto1939 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Posted June 18, 2018 When you supplied the Autolite number you can see how quickly someone responded with the various Autolite internal parts. These are the Autolite part numbers that you would look for at swap meets and they can be cross referenced into other manufacturers specific part numbers. This is why i collect the various automobile parts suppliers old catalogs just for cross reference issues. You usually do not find the MoPAr numbers on parts but generally the after market parts suppliers. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com Quote
RickSchneider Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Posted June 18, 2018 Thank You very much Jerry and Rich, I see where I had 8 is B, there is a scrape in the middle of figure. I've had my 48 for about 8 months and it's been a mostly fun experience. lol Rick Schneider Quote
