what is it X2?

What are these? #1 is a small part found on the floor of the shop, it looks like a wire plugs into one end and the other end pushes in and out for about 1/8". #2 is a black plastic box found when the dash was removed from a 1935 Dictator that had been re-wired by a previous owner who apparently used a "fits" all harness as it has about twice the wire needed. 4 screws are in the bottom of box but when removed, the top does not come off. Wiring will be returned to origianl diagram. Ken, Deltaville, Va

The box might be a 6V to 12V converter so the PO could use 12V neg ground accessories. I had something like that on my '32 Studebaker except I built it myself. Requires many extra wires in order to isolate 12v negative ground accessories from the body/frame.

The top item looks like the anti creep throttle switch on early 50's cars with the Detroit Gear transmission. But broken, there should be more threads.

Agreed, Brad. If you blow up the photo and look at the threads carefully, you can see that they have indeed been broken off. BP

I'm guessing the black box is an electronic turn signal converter.
