Re: What is it.

If could be either a Mallory Magspark transformer or a Mallory Voltmaster coil. They used the same case, but had different markings (which are not shown).

They use a special distributor with two sets of points and are sort of a "poor man's" multiple spark (Magspark) or a dual coil (Voltmaster). They have a reputation of being very good ignitions.

It reminds me of the old ACCEL supper coils we ran back in the 70s. Tim

Ahh, the seventies! Disco, Leisure Suits, and ugly yellow performance coils.
