By the way Auto-Lite date codes for Model A production are E - 1928; F - 1929;
G - 1930 and H - 1931. For months they used Jan - 1; Feb -2 etc. They did not use O, I, Q or V in any of their date codes. The "O 8" is not a date code on the breaker plate since "O" is not used. In addition they use "number" first then "letter".
Ron,

Does the above refer to the coil also?

How about the starter and generator bands...I know they were date coded...can you please expand if you know?

Thanks.
