VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Electrical - 6 volt Generator, Starter and Distributor tags

I have started to accessorize my motor for my '31.

Looking through the tons of pictures I have and the collection of starters/generators I have I seem to find a discrepancy on what the correct tags should be.

A picture from the 1930 service news show a generator with a large tag only listing Anderson Ind on the top.

A factory photo from a 1938 shows a small tag still only listing Anderson, Ind.

However, I have a 943J with same tag as shown on the '38 and a 943J with a large tag but lists both Dayton Ohio and Anderson Ind.

So with that being said, I have a few questions:

1. Is there a rhyme/reason as to when/why Delco Remy listed both cities on their tags?

2. Was there a specific year they started using the smaller tags on the generator and starter? (I assume the large tag was never used on the distributor, but I could be wrong)

3. Did Delco Remy ever just list Dayton Ohio on the tags?

good question, i know when i did the tags on my 1929, all the repros show Dayton & Anderson on them and state Delco-Remy

Large tags for Generator & Starter, Small tag for Distributor. both look identical other than size !

had a local trophy shop etch them for me.

Delco, the Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company, was headquarted in Dayton and had major manufacturing in Anderson Indiana. I can only speculate on the names on the tags.
