Delco Starter-Generator-Distributor fits what?

Hello out there!

Attached are pictures of a Delco Generator/Starter/Distributor that was part of my wife's father's collection of "stuff". The last Patent Date is February 5, 1916. I cannot find a part number, but there is a serial number 11?265330 stamped on the case (the question mark is for a number that can't be read). The Distributor Case hase the # 28944, and what I think is 8 H.

The Distributor cam has 6 lobes, so it is for a 6. Early Dyke's (online) show what I think is a similar unit of a 1916 Hudson.

We are curious as to what cars this unit might have been used on, any ideas on how to find the model #, and any other info that might be available (for example, was the starter-generator generic, and the distributor car specific?)

Thanks in advance for any help!

The distributor was integral to the unit.

Several GM cars and trucks between 1914 & 1925 used Delco starter-generators. This one does look like a Buick but my nameplate does not clearly state the model number.

I have a 1924 Master Six Buick that has only July 29, 1919 listed as the last patent date on the unit.

I hope this helps....
