The one in Rich's 3rd photo is what I think is correct and yes, Delco.
The second set of holes was to take a lug from the terminal on the loom and keep it aligned correctly. Probably Ford used the bullet type same as jeep, while G.M. used this type. Not sure?

Default Dimmer

The DS-40 by Standard is available thru Bumper to Bumper, purchased one last week for the rear of C8A, the only difference is a longer tab on one side which has two mounting holes, so there are three mounting holes, instead of two, but the holes line up with out any problem, I treaded the holes for screws, so you do not have to use a bolt and nut.

If the longer tab isn't needed or wanted it can be easily cut off and filed to shape to match the other tab as the housing is a soft metal casting.

Hi Jordan,

Im likely miles off here, but thought it worth adding.

On a jeep, Ford GPW's initially used the bullet type and Willys the terminal with a screw. I think Ford swapped to the scrw in type about mid war/later in production. I know we are talking CMP's and a Chev, but wondered if it might help knowing what Ford USA was using at a similar time?

Hope this helps (if it can!).

Im surprised these dont turn up NOS for the CMP like they can be found for the jeep, that would help- maybe they are in Argentina on their way back to the UK!

Cheers,
Ian.

Found them from Mac's Antique Auto parts. Exactly the kind I was looking for. Picked up two yesterday.
