This is another piece I got out of a recent box. I cannot read the numbers on it but am thinking it is a mid to late 30s 8 cylinder unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. After I know what it is I'll put it in the For Sale forum.

The numbers on the nameplate can quite often be read with the help of a good magnifying glass.
Identification would then be much easier.

Judging from the cap and the cast base of the vac advance it is a 53-54 unit. We would still need the number to be exact as there were a couple different ones of those.

Thanks for your help. I could not read it using a magnifying glass, but my glass is a cheap one. I'll move this over to the For Sale area now. Gene
