I don't know who made it but it looks like it is set up for two different distributors. With two different pin holes.

Maybe that's how they advanced the timing??

I saw that too. Maybe a way to use a Model B distributor (and timing) on the Model A engine? Or visa-versa? A one size fits all head?

Well, instead of changing the position of the timing pin in the front timing gear cover.
