What is the NAPA number (if any) for points and condensor for M37's? Would like to have a spare set to keep in the truck now that its legal, thanks.

I have not had any luck with my truck running well (it's 24v) except with condenser from military vehicle suppliers (last from Midwest Military). I tried local sources - they said they were right, BUT not.

There was a cross-reference list on the old Big Electric forum at one time. I downloaded it for future reference, but I'll be hanged if I can find it now!

Condensor, AL869, Points, CS725A

You sure are on top of things, Mr. Talbert...

Those napa numbers, they are for a 24 volt system I assume? My truck is still 24 V, I should have included that, thanks.

Voltage doesn't matter
Both my 37 ( 24v) and my WC-21 ( 6v pos grd ) used those #'s.

Also the napa # for the M-37 rotor is AL 166 ( now those are different in each vehicle)

I wasn't aware that voltage isn't a concern when orderin gthese items. I had thought it would be an issue....Thanks

" I had thought it would be an issue"

Yeah me to!... but the things you learn in this hobby

When you go to the Auto Parts Store, be sure to specify Standard Brand. They still make stuff in the USA. Their caps, points, condensors etc. seem to work fine. Costs more though. For example, I needed a 12 volt coil for my Power Wagon Restoration. The made in USA version was $47 and the foreigh version was about $15! I opted for the US made coil. You may not find Standard Brand at NAPA. I buy them at a local Car Quest. Sid

Thanks for the tip, Sid. After all, what's another $32 or so in the overall scheme of things? It's only money!

Sid;

I bought a set the other night. NAPA had exactly the numbers that Charles mentioned and they are made in good old USA because I checked.

Hey BTW - Do you remember a short while ago I had inquired about the arm that raised and lowers the cowl vent? Was wondering if you still have one. I remember yo uhad responded but were away on business. I forgot to get back to you about it sorry. If you have any of these arms, I'd like to place an order for one, thanks.

The cross reference list that Pete Ruffing put together (he updated and expanded upon Bill L's list) is posted on my website in PDF form at:

It is the one that Eric had linked to from the site when it was BigElectric...

As always, I'm interested in updates, corrections, expansions, to the list...

Enjoy.

Thanks, Cabell. I printed it off again and I'll try not to lose it again.

Wouldn't you know it?? I just filed the reprint in my M37 paper folder with my various assorted receipts. When I picked up the folder, the original copy fell out from behind some other stuff! DUH!
