I have been collecting various automotive cross reference catalogs and scanning the pages and then putting the information on CD's.
I have up for sale the AUTOLITE Parts catalogs that list the original Autolite components that would have been on our DeSoto cars. It also lists other cars and trucks that also were equipet with Autolite parts. Autolite was the main supplier for most of the electrical components on our Desoto's.
The catalogs cover with the Autolite part numbers and also have pictures of the part for a reference point. You will find the Autolite parts at swap meets but usually not the MoPar part with the appropriate MoPar part number. These books help you identify the Autolite part when they are sitting in a $1 to $10 pile at swap meets. and you can get some great bargain's just by knowing the corresponding Autolite part number for your particular car or truck.
The areas that are covered include: Each section lists the Autolite part number and then there is a section with a picture of each part
Distibutors & Coils
Generator and Regulators
Starting Motors and Switches
Speedometers and Instruments
Wiper Motor and Horns
The cost shipped to your home for both catalogs on CD is $25.00
These make a great XMAS present to yourself and your wife does not have to do any shopping for that special gift for you. Also what is nice is that you can print out any particular page of the catalog and take the information along with you to a swap meet instead of taking the whole paper catalog.
