Hudson and Blue Crown Spark Plugs
According to the Blue Crown books the plug number that was used in the Hornets was an M7L or M7Lx, this number was the cross for Champion H-10 through H-11. The X was a designation for dual ground contacts for the plug. I do know what Blue Crown 87…

Updates on the 52 Pacemaker
It is used to clear the frame. It is a one to one ratio angle drive. The base is the same as a normal speedometer cable but a normal speedo cable would have trouble fitting. When I looked around I believe that I found that a normal Hudson Speedo cab…

Updates on the 52 Pacemaker
I have looked at a few other 52 Pacemakers, all of which had the same shift knob. On top of that the dealership brochure shows this as well. THOUGH I DO KNOW THAT IS NOT ALWAYS AN ACCURATE RESOURCE. The black on the bell housing and trans is because…

That sounds great, I would be interested in the one piece spring. Also I am missing the speedometer cable for the car. Now I have looked on ebay and other sources and since I have the overdrive on a short wheelbase Hudson the typical plug in style o…

Egge sells a cam for $125.00 only lists it for a 308 though, I am not sure if that is the same part # or not. I will be placing an order with Dale Cooper today; I will ask if he has a camshaft. Any suggestions on who might have an oil pump? I wi…

I will check with Dellis for those retainers. Also I am not planning on using the AC pulleys, so if anyone wants them please give me an offer. They were powder coated and are still very nice.

I thought gold was for a Hornet 308 engine? This is a pacemaker 232 of which I was under the impression was a reddish orange; please correct me if I am wrong.
