Electrolock for 31 Essex?

Unknown

Hi all:



Anyone have an Electrolock ignition assembly for a 31 Essex (or know where I might find one)? Thanks in advance. Eric

Is yours malfunctioning, or simply missing? My 1937 electrolock shorted out within the cable, and it was simply rebuilt by a Hudsonite.

Hi Jon:



Mine is missing. I'm trying to restore the car to original equipment. The last three items I need are: 1) A correct Marvel Carburetor, 2) The Stewart's Vacuum Pump, 3) The electrolock.



I've recently purchased the carburetor and await its arrival. I'm still searching for the pump and the Electrolock. At some point in the car's life, a more modern (my guess is circa 1950s) ignition switch was put in and the wiring to the coil and distributor was cobbled. Mind you, it works fine, but I'd like to put her straight. Eric

I notice that a fellow was selling a complete '31 Essex drive train back in February, on this website: http://www.restored-classic.com/essex-parts/ . Maybe he'd have other stuff as well...
