I have this Atwater Kent distributor And would like to know what it fits. It is for a 6 cylinder engine. Thr cap is marked Atwater Kent Type CA Phila, U.S.A. on a brass tag. Inside the cap is marked C-C-1/6 and BB over a C. The BB has one of the B's Backward. The rotor is marked AK and 19 both in a circle. Inside the distributor is a 46 on the condenser bracket, I do not see any other marks. I got this with a bunch of early Ford parts, but I am sure it is not Ford. The distributor seems to be in fairly good condition and it turns. Some where along the line someone thought it was worth saving.

Thank you for any help

Type CA was used until mid-1922 on the larger Paige (6-66), and was replaced mid-year by Type RA with a round distributor cap.  Mine is the latter.  There are two versions of the 6-66 Owner's Manual, 1st Edition with the CA distributor, 2nd Edition with the RA.  The engine in the 6-66 1921-22 was the Continental 8A but with the marked type and engine number as 8AP but I don't know the differentiation from other 8A uses in cars even rarer.
