Guest Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi all well I think I might have some thing just great as it is a Remy Electric Co Model OB serial 3317 I have a lot of pictures of this it is small but weighs about 40 pounds , It is run off batteries and says if battery is disconected it should oil bearings every 1,000 miles ,there also is a switch for winter driving and summer driving . Is this for a very early electric car ? or if any one has any info on what it is or where to find out please reply here or email me at mmuehlba2000@yahoo.com . Thanks MIKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Crabby Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 This has nothing to do with electric cars,early battery ignition device is my feeble estimation,I would have said motor/generator but for what I perceive is an advance lever as well as a distributor cap. could you post a pic of the other side?My guess would be 1912-1913 vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Binger Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 My guess would be a Generator/Distributor. There seems to be a coupling on the one end . This is how most of the magnitos attched. There were a number of cars in the teens and twentys that had something similar. They were Starter/Generator units. My 14 Buick and My 22 Buick have the starter/Generator units with distributors incorporated in them.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 in all my searches on Goggle under remy electric. there is not much on the old company I email Delco with the model # and all they said it was not in there inventory , I think all the old records are lost or does any one know where I would search besides Goggle ? I also get some links to The Liberty Truck . But I am still looking for what this is from . Thanks MIKE Liberty Truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
