Electrical Specs

Recent research into the feasibility of adapting the Pertronix electronic ignition system to Durant/Star 4 & 6 cylinder engines showed that  AutoLite was the main supplier of distributors, starters, generators, and coils. Attached is a list of the various Autolite P/N’s used on the Durant and Star Models.
These P/N’s were gathered from Durant manuals, Durant Standards, Partsman articles, AEA & NEA aftermarket manuals and especially an AutoLite distributor parts books. Many Durant members also deserve credit for contributing to this information.


The following qualifiers need to be considered when referring to this chart:
1) While most of the manuals agreed, there were some discrepancies between the various publications.
2) Plants sometimes used different suppliers/versions of various components.
3) Different models and introduction of new models varied from plant to plant.
4) Domestic models and export models may have used different versions of the same component.
5) Revision levels from suppliers at each plant were made as a running change when old stock was used up.
6) The 90+ years since these cars were produced have resulted in “interchangeable” components.
7) This is not a complete list of all models because data on Canadian, Flint, De Vaux, Rugby, etc. lines is limited.

Note-1 On A-22 original “mailbox” coil had an internal condenser. If using an after market coil, use IG-2243 condenser.
