If I read your posting correctly, here is what my parts book says:

P1,P2 up to engine No. 139310 use part No. 643927, P1,P2 after engine N0. 661985

Hope this helps,
Bob

P/N 2084652 shows to be a vacuum advance for later models, 60 - 61 all, 6 cylinder, 64 - 67 all, 6 cylinder.  Hope this helps. Lee

The first number in the part number usually indicates the DECADE -  that is, a part starting with "1" with be for the 1950's -  starting with "2" will be the 1960's....
all 1930's parts are six digit, usually in the 600,000 range, unless there has been an updated part

Now you will have to post some photos of your car on the website so we all can enjoy seeing it.

Yes, this is a FANTASTIC  website,

Good luck and happy "Old Plymouth Motoring"

I had my 1940 P-10 coupe out for a few miles this afternoon

Had my '36 touring sedan out too---salt washed away by rains
But, whoops,  more snow, so back in the garage for awhile.

Meanwhile, thanks to your help, still need to replace the  vacuum advance and searching for a trunk handle lockcylinder.

I hope the pix I've tried to attach came through & enlarge ok. If you don't see any, then I guess I need to get a teenager to show me how to get them small enough.

Thanks again.
