I can't tell for sure but the Photo in posts 51/52 looks like a crab type cap. That would be a 1942 type set up or a modified rabbit ear distributor. With centrifugal advance and a vacuum brake they work OK and have some load control. Maybe not as hot as the Scintilla/Vertex mag though. The Harmon Collins dual coil set up was one of the hot items back in the day
