What is this tool for ???
Poking around in one of my pop's toolboxes I found these two tools.
It appears that they were once one a double ended tool and pop cut it in two. Probably a clearance issue. One end is a hex socket the other a spanner. Maybe someone has one similar. Any ideas ??? |

Looks like a distributor tool. The slotted driver end fits the primary post on a 216 Chevy, if I remember. Looks too small to fit an ignition switch.

Re: What is this tool for ???
I think the one on the right is for the barrel nut used on the crab distributors.

Re: What is this tool for ???
the one on the right may be used to remove some of the 49 to 53 bezels on the dash (light switch) i have one with the similar two small extensions to remove the locking ring on the switch retainer.

When I was doing tune up service on Chevy 6 distributors, I had a tool that looked like that. It may well work for carburetor service also.

Re: What is this tool for ???
It is a tool used on the older Delco distributors. It fit the stud & nut thru bolt on the low voltage terminal on the side of dist.

Re: What is this tool for ???
Thanks 42'merc !
I am going to mount it on the wall with about 30 other obsolete and unidentified old tools I have. When they have my auction they will probably go for a pittance as nobody will know what they are for. |

I have one as posted by 42 merc. KR Wilson made a similar for use on the applications I have noted. Those were probably originally part of the larger tool that was cut in two to make the individual drivers. Larry |

Re: What is this tool for ???
I didn't measure the hex, but the old Delco ignition terminals (coil & dist) used an 11/32" hex nut.
