Rotors

Trevor J

Can anyone on the forum give me the correct numbers for the Hudson 8 distributor rotors from 1934 to 1942.  I understand there were also aftermarket suppliers apart from Autolight.  Their numbers would also be helpful

Not what you're asking but I've recently bought a 35 distributor kit from Wildrick, cap, rotor, points and condenser

There are more than 20 different companies that sold rotors. Most were bought from the same supplier.

Here's a few, 1930 - 47 HUDSON 8
Autolite - IG 1576
Echlin - AL 46
Filco - AL 88
G.P. - AL 45
KEM -1542
STANDARD - AL 69

You're in NZ - If your car is one of the British assembled Hudson Eights, some of them used a taller distributor arm and cap than US cars. All such ones I've seen are marked
"Made in England ".
You can't use these arms in the shorter US caps. I don't know if you can use the shorter arm in the tall caps.

Thanks for all your help.  I will stay away from the English ones

There is a rotor listed for sale with an auto light part number IGP 1016B says it for Hudson 27 to 47 does anyone have a listing for that number

IGP 1016B = 1948 - 52 8 cyl
