I've searched the Judson site, read the ads & instructions plus searched here for an approximate year.

I know the Judson family started with flathead Ford stuff in the late 40s.

Thanks

is it true that the first magnetos came on blister cards not in boxes.......i had a magneto that was on a large blister card dated 64.....supposedly the pulled off the card because of the weight and they switched them to boxes.....

If your Magneto has a wide sticker it's early...the narrow label positioned inside 2 raised ridges on the black plastic part, it's later. Just when the change came I don't know.

I'm pretty sure the blister packs were the later Magnetos.
