Post by: kfnut on September 29, 2013, 05:28:04 PM

I have a auto-lite dist. that is nos . I have looked for info on the application but can not find it . Can someone help me find the application ? It is a 8 cylinder  Mod. # IGP-4504-M7Y009982 .
 I have found a Packard number really close . Someone  suggested it was military from the M in the model number .
  Any help will be appreciated .

Nothing in the Auto-Lite Books, 1936-1957.  Hudson and Packard used IGP series distributors but nothing of the number you list.  It might just be a military type (would be set up for 24 volt systems if that's the case).

  About the only place I can think of 8 cyls military is tanks or PT boats. But Im no expert,,I just play one on TV.

I never had a Packard so I assume you meant George S not Miles H
