Hot Rods Mallory Magspark ID???

I bought a Mallory Magspark (model YCM type 62c) distributor at a swap meet a few weeks ago. The guy that sold me the part told me it was off of his flathead. When I got home it was clear to me that this won't fit my flatty. I've been spending to long searching and I've given up. Anyone more knowledgable on this stuff have an idea of what it goes to?

 

pictures do help....lots of guys have no books to look them up, but recognize the appearance.

 

^^^ I hope that helps.

 

looks like a Slant 6 distributor! but if it has an 8 lobe cam, it can't be...

 

Yeah it's for a V8.

 

Bump for the morning crew.

 

Off his flathead WHAT? There are a few flathead straight eights out there.

 

Well it's definitely not a Ford flathead dizzy. Go to the fordbarn.com site and post it. Bubba from Bubba's Ignition is the guru for this.

 

Looks like a Cord 8 distributor

 

39-52 Hudson

 

Is there a database somewhere to check numbers/ types? I wanna know for sure if it would fit a Cord or Hudson.

 

Couldn't get this to upload when I posted before.
May be a different overall number than what you have but the "62" is usually the indicator for what engine.
