When my friend in CO was replacing the clutch in their 1946 Chevy dump truck, it was the same disc as used in the then current 1980's trucks  |
From '57 to '69, any GM V-8 without electronic ignition used the same points, condenser, cap and rotor. Older guys would come in for tune-up parts for one of those cars, and we'd just go pull them, but looked up the plugs, of course. Some would complain that we couldn't possibly know what those parts were without looking. So, we'd open a catalog to a random page, nod wisely, and head back for the parts. That always worked.
