2 Spark 6 cylinder cars/marine?

[Dan Marx]

What motors used the Delco Remy 2 Spark 6 Cylinder application?  My only reference, Hoosick Engineering, shows possibly the Auburn '32-33 and American LaFrance 1936.  Another reference shows the same cap pix with 20 different applications. See attached pix.

Thanks

It’s probably a six cylinder dual plug Chevy fire truck cap. We see them often at swap meet for sale, as they don’t fit cars they don’t sell.

I thought that might be the issue.  Great conversation piece at a swap meet.  How about marine applications?

Twin ignition Nash?

[Dan Marx]

That is an AutoLite system.

My book shows this:

 

Unfortunately it stops there!

 

Chiltons shows the Stutz AA, BB and M (1927, 1928, 1929-30) all had the same cap and no other vehicle used that cap. Hmm. Now I am confused.

There are also a couple of different rotors so that the cap can be used on double fire sixes and twelve cylinder cars.

I am needing a rotor, I have a Hercules engine in a c2 Federal truck 1945  that uses this at least it look the same.  Let my know if any rotors available.

As far as I know the Nash used Delco Remy. My 27 advanced 6 is Delco Remy and I have seen some cars around 1928/9 with those twin ignition caps.

Below is a picture of a 29 Nash currently being parted out . Picture courtesy of Nash Car Club of America facebook pages.

 Nash used Auto-Lite, not Delco-Remy.

1928-41 Twin Ignition Six Nash’s used Auto-Lite IGE-xxxx distributors. Nash was the only passenger car using a IGE distributor. Besides on Nash, IGE distributors were used on a bunch of Trucks and Marine Engines, such as Acme Truck, Brockway, Continental, Gramm Truck, Gray Marine, Hall Scott, Hercules, International Truck, Kenworth, Kermath Marine, Oshkosh etc.
Tree different but identical looking distributor caps had been used on IGE type distributors:

IGE-1003

IGE-1003L

IGE-1003LA

Nash used IGE-1003 and IGE-1003L caps. IGE distributors were used from 1928 until the late 40‘s (….or even longer, I’d have to check in the books).

Pictures of the  NOS  Delco twin 6 rotor.   Has "2 spark, 6 cyl" on the rotor.    At one time during the late 20s and thru the 30s there were 10 different twin rotors or as some call them the "batwing" rotors.  Autolite had 4 of them and Delco produced 6 of them.   Least I forget, DeJon also had a twin rotor that was used on some of their 1927 -1929 models.

Here‘s the rotor - DéJon P/N IIA-2118

Auto-Lite twin rotors for 6 and 8 cyl. two spark applications as well as for 8 and 12 cyl. single spark applications.

Some of the Delco and Delco-Remy twin rotors (there are at least 6 more).
