ASA Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Can anybody ID these 4 cylinder distributors? I've spent hours looking online without much luck. I've have found nothing like the Bosch(left) and only a couple that were similar(but not a match) to the Autolite(right).Thanks for any help.

ASA Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 The only markings I have found on the Autolite is one place that says IG-177. I have not found any markings on the Bosch yet beyond made in, patent #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASA Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Went out and got a bunch of grease off the Bosch. It has a cast letter t and then stamped '4208'. Below that is stamped '6'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude17 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The Autolite distributor looks very close to an original Overland 4 cylinder model 91 (about 1924) which were driven off the rear of the generator. The originals were made of diecast but nearly all the ones I have seen have been recast in brass. It appears to have the original condenser with a replacement attached to the outside.
