[Deleted User]

To tell you how stupid I am this is the first I have heard of it....wish I had known earlier. Whats the 411 on that?

Its an annual swap meet held in Feb every year. Its pretty, big lots of people coming from the northern US and western provinces. Lots of vendors come down from your neck of the woods. We are expecting a good sized turn out. at the same time is a gun show in another room off to the side. Its at Leth. Exhibition Pavilion. This year our local antique car club is going to have a few cars on display as well.

In the past have you seen any Hudson items at the events?

Yeah I bought a couple of spare parts, it all depends on who shows up I guess. The parts I bought were brought down from a guy in Calgary. I Invited up the Hudson guys from the Montana chapter, Stu Coleman and Dave Mansk(not sure that's spelt right) so they may show up. I hope they do. Stu always has lots of parts.

Jim my setup is 6 volt and that is the P6 designation which means its for 6 volt positive ground. If you convert to 12 volt you get the part # 1362 without the P6 designation. Runs like a dream on the 6 volt. I have just done the distributer for the 308 I have on the engine stand as well.



I also got the new Pertronix wires and coil. Just make sure to get the correct coil. The correct coil is the PNX 40011 1.5 Ohm coil and the wire kit is PNX 708180.



This is tried and true technology and runs excellent. I would not return to points after this. Be sure to gap your plugs to 32 thou after doing this as you can run a wider gap.



I got everything from my local Mopac dealer they have a store in Calgary phone number 403-277-0101. They will be able to order in. Cost you about 200 bucks for the lot.

What plugs are you running '51 ?

Do you have a secret source for these H 10's ? I can't seem to find anyone who can supply.

Can you run a 6 volt Petronix system with an 8 volt battery?

H-10 sparkplugs seem to be common in small engines so they are likely to be found at Home Depot and such.

Aha !! :-) Are they marked as CHA844's then, or H10's ? The reason I ask is because when I went to NAPA some time ago and asked for H10's, the young fellow behind the counter couldn't find them in the book, so with considerable authority, announced that they must be obsolete, and looked at me like I was pretty close to that status too --- epecially when I said they were for a "Hudson" !



Once I said that, I think he dismissed me as some kind of nut, -- since he'd never heard of a (What) -- a Hudson ?? Things just kinda went downhill from there.



Ahhh - God bless the young, --- they just don't know what they're missing !



Anyway, thanks for the info '51 -- I'm gonna see if I can get the same Guy again and enlighten him on a few things about spark plugs -- and Hudsons !! :-)

I can't say if they are the same. The ones I've bought have been marked H-10s. If you look around on the internet you should be able to find spark plug interchange charts that might help. Ot you could call or email Champion. Somebody (I think on this forum) said they enjoy going to auto parts stores and asking the young clerks for a 1966 Volkswagen radiator cap. I tried and it's fun!

Oh Silverone, you asked a sullen youth a question about interchange. That was your first mistake my local Napa guy thinks I drive a Hudson Hornet motorcycle and who am I to deflate that fantasy he has. I have even gone so far as to order my parts standing at the counter with a motorcycle helmet on.

But seriously when I want to know about Napa parts I use Napaonline as they have crossed indexed their catalog and it goes back to 53 so if you type in H10 it will give you a couple of choices a Champion plug number I supplied or an Autolite equivalent. Never let them look things up always do the legwork yourself before hand. Everything I got from Napa this way has fit.

The plugs I got from them are identical to the old Champion H10's I have in my shop. Even better because they have better electrodes. Specs are almost identical and bottom line they run like a champ in my car....pun intended

Interesting thread...so many posts and I've learned a lot I may use these info on fixing my VW fuel pump. I think somehow I can apply the ideas here :cool:

TSC (Tractor Supply Company) stocks Champion H-10 spark plugs ( probably for old tractors and small engines) and Fram C-3 oil filters

FYI Champion has changed their spark plug numbering system. A H10 is now called a 844.

The Champion H-10c , is the one I found. Seems to work well. Found at a Auto Parts store.

The Champion H-12 is still available.
