New old stock. Unused in original box.
Brand:Auto-Lite Country/Region of Manufacture:United States Surface Finish:Original

Here is a current limiting device sold by Auto-Lite back in the 6 volt era.  The box says it will prevent "blue points".

The box makes me think it's from the 30's or 40's, but I don't know for sure.  No returns, please.

The part number on the end of the box is SP-1941A.

The instructions say it can be installed in series on the primary side of the igntion coil, either between the igntion switch and the coil, or between the distributor and the coil.  I'm guessing it is some sort of resistor, but I don't know for sure. 

There are little round windows in the housing, and it looks like there is a bulb inside.  I think that is the resistor. Will it light up when the car is running?  It's hard say.  I would not hook it up to anything unless it was in series with an igntion coil.  The little windows could be for viewing or for cooling.  

It's old and it's cool!  Don't miss out!!

Sebastian Vettel’s 2013 F1 title: the stats

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

By Ollie Kew Motor Industry 28 October 2013 11:30 In winning the 2013 Indian Grand Prix this week – his six straight victory of this season – Sebastian Vettel became the youngest driver ever to win four consecutive F1 world titles. Only two drivers have ever managed four titles on the trot before him: Juan Manuel Fangio (1953-58) and Michael Schumacher (with five in a row between 2000-2005). Frenchman Alain Prost is the only other driver to have taken four F1 world titles – but no-one’s managed the feat as fast as Seb.

Refreshed 2015 Dodge Challenger gets a 485-hp 6.4-liter V8, Scat Pack trims

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Chrysler has pulled the covers off the 2015 Dodge Challenger at the New York auto show, and though the styling is more or less unchanged, the big news is a big, new V8 option. No, it's not the rumored supercharged “Hellcat” mill, but the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 under the hood of the Challenger 6.4-liter Scat Pack variant should be good for 485 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque. Plus, you'll have something to talk about with the guys rolling around in 2014 Ram Power Wagons, which also get that bigger motor in the new model year.
