    Got this out of my Dad's tool box and never saw anything like it. He used to be a car mechanic working at Fradly's in Lorain, Ohio around 75 years ago if that helps. This tool is 4" across and 4" long. Any help will be appreciated! :) 000_9391.jpg 000_9392.jpg 000_9393.jpg 000_9394.jpg 000_9395.jpg 000_9396.jpg 000_9397.jpg

    I used to help my dad changes the brake pads on our old cars and parts of this tool looks like the tool we used.

    Tried finding it but everything "Ignition tools" came up with various wrenches and pliers. And by the way - what the heck is an ignition? Is this for a model T or a 57 Chevy?

    OH, I had a 1970 Buick Grand Sport 350 and it had points in the distributor but had to adjust them with "feeler gauges" so I just thoutht this was older than the 70's! They were screwed into the distributor with phillips screws! I had to constantly replace them as it was a High compression 350 and constantly burned them out!

    I owned a 67 Buick GS with the Star Wars air filter - a 340 - 4 bbl , a 1970 455 convertible, and my 1970 350 high compression with 315 hp but then I added a Holley 750 double pumper to add to the HP! So IF you ever want to talk Buicks just PM me! I'm trying to save up for the amazing 1970 GSX in Apollo white - there's one 30 minutes down the road from me but they want 125,000$ - but it's beautiful!!

    My staid and conservative uncle had a 71 Riviera like this one.
    One day a guy followed him all the way home from his downtown office and approached him in his front yard.
    My uncle nearly sh-t a brick.....but the guy only wanted to buy the car off him , for his wife's birthday.
    The next week.....uncle bought a brand new car !!! :singing::singing::singing:
