Picked this up out of a scrap pile this morning.Trying to determine vintage. Spalding V8 magneto. Type S1-303 Part no.3505 Looked around on the net and found not much and nothing helpful. My guess is that it's for a SBC but I have been wrong in the past.
I don't think it's a magneto; looks like a 'dual coil' distributor - it uses 2 coils, one on each side (that's why there are 5 places for wires to go into on each side) If it is, it's as cool as a magneto as far as being 'traditional'. Note: I have been wrong before.,..........
here is an other treath about it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90135 perhaps it helps
As usual your answers were correct and I was wrong.Happens daily.LOL According to the chart it is for a Oldsmobile
