Delco Part number (POINTS) ??

[jackb]

Anybody have the Delco part number for the Commander 6 engine ?? Stude part # 526985

[(S)]

That looks up to be a one off, 1950 . I only keep one of those in stock. I don't have cross over part numbers, just the parts.

You might try johnstones page if you just want to go to FLAPS to get one local..

I looked but nothing came up.

A '63 Standard parts book indicates that the '51-59 V8 style points can be used.

Yes it interchanges with 1939 GMC Truck, 1938 Mack Truck, 1937-42 Olds and Pontiac Six, 1937-'38 Packard, and does fit 1950 Studebaker Commander "245" 6 Cyl.

Studebaker Part number 526985 is Delco Part Number 1871678, Original NOS, USA Delco's ARE a bit hard to find, I have 2 Sets for $30.00

I found the NAPA part # CS777A.

I found the NAPA part # CS777A.

Those are the '51 to '59 & '60-'61 Hawk V8, Early Delco Points. They are a NO Fit in a Six.
No one asked for a NAPA (Echlin) Number.

Delco number D103, GM number 1871678 (as noted above).

I installed the the NAPA #CS777A points in the 53' 2R6 truck last night and it started right up and the surfaces aligned perfectly.

That IS just weird!
I am pretty sure Studebaker would not list, buy, stock and sell 526985 for Commander Sixes, and then Use 1544167 for '51 to '59 V8's and '60-'61 Hawks unless there was SOME difference!

They all came from Delco Remy Division of GM in Indiana, so it is not just a different Supplier.

And 81 years after release of the 526985 (Delco 1871678) NAPA has One that fits them both?
I have been buying NAPA/Echlin CS777A for 58 Years, but always for my Stude. V8's.

Sorry guys and gals, I was going on info from NOS Delco parts I have from the 1960's...... I did not look everywhere for the modern 'interchange' .
