drwatson Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I don't think it's Nash, they used Auto-Lite parts for their dual ignition 8's. I could not find " Delco-Remy 4052" in my Chilton part books of 1927 - 1937 but some V16's were close: Cad V16's 1930, 31 D-R 4057, 1932 D-R 4093D, 1933 D-R 4111 Marmon V16 1931, 32 Delco Remy #4084. What other cars of that period had dual ignition 8's or V16's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 It wasn't in my book either,wondering if it could be something like a Stutz firetruck that wouldn't be in a normal car part book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old buicks 2 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It is listed in the large Delco manual and I have a listing of the parts used, group 24 if I remember correctly. (looked it up this morning and have had a lot going on since) The manual calls for a twin 6 rotor, not the twin 8 rotor used by Stutz. Without spending hours going through each application,, I'm guessing a twin 6 truck or possibly a marine application 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 I was, it seems, a bit too casual in my inspection of this! Inside is a 6 lobe cam with a rotor marked 2 spark 6 cylinder. Appears that someone put an 8 cylinder 2 spark cap on it. With a lack of listings in Delco automotive books, I am going to suggest that in addition to truck or marine it could be foreign. Once upon a time I had a 6 cylinder double distributor Delco unit that turned out to be Hispano-Suiza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I recently sold one just like that (different number though) that fit a Marmon twin ignition 6, Mid twenties. It fit into the back of the generator, driven off the water pump. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
