    What distributor / magneto fit to this "billet" adapter drive?

    Cast angle drive fits to Ford Flathead and I can install there direct Nash Twin8 distributor or I can push this Adapter drive to angle drive. Need to know what magneto, distributor fits to it, so maybe I can use those in my blown flathead Project engine.

    Looks like a Scintilla magneto drive.

    It is a reproduction of the angle drive for a scintilla/vertex magneto used on 48 and earlier Ford flathead engines. Tomorrow I will post pics of original drives with magnetos.

    I have had one this kind Scintilla magneto. It fits direct to angle drive.

    I have think that all scintilla looks like that one?

    This new billed adapter´s output shaft looks very strange, like ****erfly,...

    The first one is original with a Scintilla Magneto. Bottom of mag needs to be changed to fit in angle drive. Not sure you what you mean by ****erfly drive but these are offset slot for 48 and down
    camshafts.

    Second is early Joe Hunt, you can see slot in drive for camshaft.

    Third is one I am running on my Roadster. It has been modified so it can be turned up or either side
