'52 Hudson - leads and dizzy help?

We do have quite a lot of spare parts shops here in Australia, but if you go in and ask parts for a "Hudson" the guy behind the counter says ''WHAT" never heard of that make. BUT, after the movie CARS it may be a different kettle of fish.



And we do have things on our cars like,leads,dizzy caps, bonnets, boots, dumb irons, overriders, etc etc.

Not sure if it the same in the U.S.but it is illegal to sell copper wire for leads these days, must be carbon trac, if you have the right contact though, you can buy them, under the counter sort of thing.



We Australians eat Vegemite in large lumps or small dollops, but mostly in large lumps. If you can see the thing the Vegemite has been spread on, then there isn't enough. Of course, if you have never eaten Vegemite before, you may need to consume it in slightly smaller amounts until you get used to it.



Yes it does take a little while to get used to but once you do, IT"S BEAUTIFUL

especially on your morning slice of toast and a good cup of coffee.

wow.. I had to read those posts a couple of times... :eek:



you aussie guys are cool! :cool:



unless you got an Autozone down there, I cannot even offer any good suggestions.



try eBay, Dave Kostensak (in the HET club...) the easiest sources that come to mind.



As far as the leads, I assume you mean spark plug wires? you should be able to get single wires from an auto parts store that would work, just choose the proper length, and boot ends. (but not sure if they got the same type of stores we got here...)



Oh yeah... just to let you Aussie guys know, I did finally try vegemite, well, lets just say it was quite different, maybe more of an acquired taste. It was not horrible, but was fun to try something different... (of course for this to makes sense you will have to search back a ways in the forum to see where we mentioned this previously.... just look up vegemite!)

G'Day Dan,



No translator needed, we know what we are talking about,it's just you guys over there.LOL.



We are part lucky here as my late father was a spare parts dealer back in the 50's era, when he passed away I was lucky enough to get the HET parts, so I can supply most of what is needed here, what we can't get here, we cry for help from you guys.

Holy Cow - Is there a "Down-Under to US-English" translator website out there somewhere?



Les, I really do admire you folks down there keeping the Hudsons going and finding them to fix-up.



It's hard enough getting parts sometimes around here...can't Imagine what its like off-shore.



Keep up the good work!
