J.C Whitney (aka Warshawsky & Sons) in Chicago has pretty much always had
the replacments for the ignition on the old flat 4's for those cars - we
rebuild a truck back in the early 70's and found it then, ,y buddy from HS
that lives between Phoenix and Flagstaff AZ has a car and still gets his
ignition parts from them, mailorder. Of course many parts are being
reproduced due to the popularity of restoration the last 40 yrs or so. I
found an exhaust manifld for the 47 Plymouth Special Deluxe I had in Las
Vegas through a periodical that is printed for restorers somewhere in New
England - been so long that I forget the name of the magazine - printed
basically on recycled thin newspaper with cardstock covers.
