I agree with distributor gears, the lower one on camshaft and the other on the dizzy.

Delco? With all the different distributors made for the Model T this could be a real challenge. It's not Bosch.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Not Delco... and it’s supposed to be a challenge! ;)

While not Bosch either... this accessory did come outfitted with a Bosch distributor as an option...?
