Re: IML: Ignition product number?/ Interesting Problem

Paul;
  You should have ratted that guy out to Ebay security after that incident.
At the very least they very likely would have removed the listing for being
misleading, they might have done something else to him for sending you the
hate mail not to mention the forwarding of a walrus. I have seen them remove
listings for more minor reasons then posting false or inacurate information,
sometimes they will do so just because of the way something is phrased.
  That being said you are bang on about getting the interchange info
yourself before acquiring parts. Many is the time I whish I had it while
rummaging through a box of N.O.S piston rings or what have you at a swap
meet.

Your post brings up a good point. That is when you buy NOS parts from
someone, you should probably already know what numbers they should be, and
what they should look like if they fit your car.

I have seen stuff at swap meets and on Ebay listed for specific
applications, yet by sight, pictures, and sometimes the description, I can
tell that the parts wouldn't fit what they say. Telling them about it or
sending them a note usually doesn't do any good either. They stubbornly
stick to their "parts reference book" or some such thing and sell it anyway.
Once some guy sent me a virus and a nasty e-mail note for telling him that
what he was selling didn't fit what he said it did.

Our cars are very unique, and if we are familiar with them, it isn't too
difficult to tell if something is going to fit or not. Before you buy, try
to make sure that what you are looking and is what you really want.

and turns out that they are not for my car...but are supposed to be Mopar
points. Does anyone have a way to look up a part number (Standard Ignition
is the manufacturer) to find out what car it fits on? The number is:
AL5384P. Any help on this would be appreciated. These are NOS in box, and I
have five of them if anyone knows what they are and needs one...contact me
off list.
