I bought this tool from a man who use to build Flathead motors. Can someone tell what the tool is used for. Thanks for all the help.

For doing valve adjustment, replaces distributor and tells you what valve to adjust and when.

Very handy indeed when doing valve lash settings or adjustments. Good find.

Thanks for all the comment. The tool was given to me by old engine builder in western North Carolina. Me and my brother (Mike) bought some early Ford part from. Like engine stands, Flathead parts, and some racing parts. He gave me the tool. If someone gives me something it would not be right to sell it. This guy has wealth on knowledge about flatheads. He also had a lot great stories. It has be pleasure doing business with.
