Hoping someone out there will recognize what this mag came off of. At least I think it is a mag. Has all the components of a mag with that six cylinder distributor cap sticking out there. Any help will be appreciated.

OLD automotive generator or starter/generator in reply to DRL, 05-07-2008 16:23:33

It's NOT a magneto.

It's a generator off an OLD car, with that also drives the distributor.

Some of these were "starter-generators", which I suspect this unit IS because of the HEAVY copper bus-bar.

Maybe an old "REMY"????

If you can get your hands on a "Dyke's Automotive Encyclopedia" from the EARLY 1900's, I think you will find more information on it.

I lost my copy in a shop fire quite a few years ago, and just recently purchased a CD from an ebay seller containing scans of a few of those old books. It should be showing up any day now. I'm looking forward to having it to look up things such as this!

Its not a Magneto because it has the center post for an external coil that makes it a distributer not sure what it came off of though. Walt

Ummm, Walt. . . That post on the cap is for the secondary and doesn't mean it's not a magneto. Look at an International H4 mag for an example.

Don't know what this one is from, but it looks very much like a magneto to me, with the post for the other end of the secondary on the cap, rather than the typical battery ignition coil.
