Bob,

Great to hear your are making those reproductions. I own a '43 F15A and need to redo the switch plates as they are painted over.
Re. Autopulse, this is the switch for the electric fuel pump, which was fitted to Fords built for the Indian Army and for those in use in hot climates. See a picture of the dash here:

As far as I know, all Ford dash 3-switch plates have the Autopulse script, even if the switch itself is not fitted. This is the main - or only - difference between Chevrolet and Ford switch plates.
