Ok, I think I’ve found the source of the distributor. It is military, probably from a WW2 German truck or similar. A Phänomen (Eng. Phenomenon) Granit 1500, a light truck from Gustav Hiller AG and thus the later VEB Kraftfahrzeugwerk Phänomen Zittau. I found pictures of the same type of distributor ...

On further examination, I can see the Bosch distributor internals, as well as the points, are the exact same as used in a Porsche 356 that dates 1955-1963, as well as early VW. This confirms my belief that it’s was later conversion, or at least the distributor dates from that era. Next is to identif...

Most prefer to paint them red or black or yellow, or a matching color to your particular block.I remember the original color was an off-green that wasn’t very appealing from some of the originals I’ve seen. You can paint the raised lettering a nice contrasting color too. IMG_8201.jpeg IMG_6558.jpeg ...

I wonder how many quarts overfilled is shown by the oil level in the petcock?

ThreePedalTapDancer

Interesting. The removal of the floorboards, combined with overfilling the crankcase with oil, allowed an oil mist maelstrom to form, and the weight of the overfilled oil forced to the back of the crankcase by the highway speed of the trailer, enabled oil to be squeezed out of every available openin...

Larry Smith posted a pic of original clamp back in 2016. Looks like it would be easy to make, I would suggest using an aircraft eye bolt from aircraft spruce.

I agree, it’s a clown car. They don’t necessarily have to do wheelies, they used to race around the big top or parade chasing other clowns and looking ridiculous.

My guess is the book inside cover was sandwiched on top of an old 1907 or so print ad or brochure in a damp environment and the ink transferred to the book cover.

The radius rods are not eliminated, they are attached to the bracket. Similar to this set up. Need to see other side of bracket to see how it works or if it’s for something other than brakes. It may be a farmer designed set up.
