Does anyone make new sealed beam headlights,6 volt, that would fit of cars of the 40's to mid 50's?

[A curious bit of Auburn history]

My father told me that back in 1928-29 or so his public school teacher, an unmarried middle aged lady, had a new Auburn.I wondered how a schoolteacher could afford such an expensive car.My father told me that they were told that she had won it in a contest.Anyone ever heard of such a contest?She was a teacher in a school on Canal Street in New Orleans,LA.

[Are old engine diagnostic tools usable on P15?]

I recently acquired a Sun X18 timing light,usable on 6,12, and 24 volt systems, and a Sears 2110 tune up tester, supposed to be usable on 6 or 12 volt systems.I presume that these are both usable on my 1947 Plymouth,flathead 6?Anyton familiar with either of these vintage tools?

[P15 distributor]

Thanks to all of you for the assistance.I wonder if there is anyone who would like to swap this part for a correct P15 distributor?I presume that those would be much more common than the one that I have.

[P15 distributor]

The 1947 Plymouth I recently bought came with a distributor other than the ones mentioned in the 1946-1952 shop manual.It is marked model 644U Chrysler Motors Solar Spark Ignition, Delco-Remy.No vacuum advance,and never had one.What looks like a metal dial on side.Saw a similar one on ebay except marked IGC4501-1Auto Lite,Chrysler Corp. Solar Spark Ignition,that came out of a 1939 Dodge truck.Why no vacuum advance,and is this usable on my Plymouth.It is not currently running.
