Dunno, but it looks like a *******-heavy casting at the visible end, so (assuming it's a copy of something real) I wonder if it was for a stationary application (or perhaps plant equipment) rather than a car? |

Could be. On closer examination I think it's a four, not a twin. Certainly it looks like a four lead distributor on top. I did wonder if it might be a Citroen GS engine but it's not that. Tim |
