I've got an "AUTO-LITE" electrical booklet dated 1917 that has exploded views of all the parts,as well as a parts list for each type of generator & starter motor for 490 & Model D Chevs if that's of any help to you.

I just happen to need some for the Chummy, can you help? Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! 32 Confederate Bruce S.

Looks like a number on the top. How does the generator drive? Pulley, Gear? Mike Last edited by 35Mike; 11/28/15 12:06 PM. ml.russell1936@gmail.com Many miles of happy motoring

32confederate ChatMaster - 1,500 Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,919 Vancouver, Washington	Hi Mike, Yes your correct 7/8 thread, there is a short and a long which is the reach. The model D used the long. There is also a SAE which will work too. And there are some other Titan plugs that look the same, but are for Dodge. As to the generator, I can get you the numbers. If I remember right there is a gear that drives the generator from the front. I can take a picture of that also. So Mike what are you working on? I'm working on updating the Model D roster right now, a lot of cars have changed hands in the last few years. Bruce 32 Confederate Bruce S.

I have a pile of old AC plugs, some NOS, some Titan. I will look through them to see if anything is suitable for your D. Call me if you want and I will look at plugs while you ask the right questions. Mike 573-864-6539 ml.russell1936@gmail.com Many miles of happy motoring
