I've got 100 of them! Only half are Acme, the rest are Sorensen, FOMOCO and Tiliison. Dude, I have soooo many NOS parts right now, I'm swimming in them. I going to start working on the Trico wipers today, maybe the flasher relays too. Like I said, nothing newer than 1969, it's pretty cool...

Sure, I only have a couple boxes I brought home from storage today to work on. Most parts were still on shelves, a little dusty, but they clean up excellent. I have a 10x20 storage full, theres some 10 boxes full of manly valves alone..I bring it home a couple boxes ata time to sort and clean..

I'm working on the wipers, some are from the 30's, I really need some books to work from, even the net is barely helpful...

Yeah if you post some of the unknowns, I'm sure someone on here can help ID them for you. Those tail light lenses look like new, I bet those go real fast when your ready to sell. I remember a place called May Auto Parts when I needed parts in the late sixties, had all his stuff like yours on shelves. He didn't use parts manuals at all, you asked for a part and he would just walk to the self and get it. The guy knew everything by memory, no computers in them days. In fact I don't remember even seeing any parts manuals. Might be hard finding parts manuals now for them but I bet there are a few guys still around that remember them by sight. Sorry I was a mechanic not a parts guy, but may be able to help with a few of the late sixties ones.

I hope you got a good selection of breaker points- they've gotten stupid-expensive to buy.

I have a whole box of points, brush sets, magneto parts, flashers...I'm really not looking to rape people like the swap meets, I don't go to them just for that reason. 5-10 bucks here and there, you get the part you need, both happy! I'll keep posting pictures as I open boxes, here's one, a delco remy switch 1998684 and a starter drive rebuilt Bendix 1171 or Apeco A 1190, how about a Trico AL-70-C wiper arm..
