Conductor562 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Let's play a game. I'll post a tool that not everyone is going to be able to identify. Nothing impossible, but somewhat obscure. Whoever gets it right has to post the next one, and so on. You set the perimeters for your turn. Lots of people will be able to tell me what this little set is for. It was sold under several brands, but there were a couple specific names for the set. Anybody wanna take a stab at it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEtwidget Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 If I were to make a guess, I would say piston ring tool kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have no idea. My first thoughts was that it was valve related, but I'm not completely sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMG Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Looks like an old distributor timing set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tune up set for point ignition systems called "Snap Gap" or sometimes "Dial A Gap" from the mid 1960's. This is a Blackhawk branded set, but they were sold by several brands including New Britain and Herbrand. Alright JMG, your turn! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd the Tinkerer Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I love it when I can learn something new. The kit looks like new. Pretty sweet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 That would explain why I haven't dealt with it. The oldest distributor I've worked with was a Duraspark 2 dizzy that I did the Flamethrower 2 conversion on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One to compensate for boost. One linked to your trans brake/line locks that sets a limiter for launch. Who am I kidding you know more about this stuff than me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to go digging after this one, and then clean it up a bit. Ok Crew... What is this tool? Sticking with the automotive trend with this one. Added for size comparison... Made in Germany and used in the process of rebuilding engines... Edited January 10, 2017 by JMG Hint #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
