Difference in Lincoln V12 Dizzys?

I have what I am sure is a Lincoln v12 distributor that was in a box of V8 stuff I was moving from the farm. I posted it in the cl***ifieds and a fellow HAMBer said the top holes were different than his. After looking at a couple of pictures on ebay, mine is different.

This peaked my curiosity so I started looking for info on the www and came up empty. Pic included. The difference is the top holes on mine are equally spaced where on the pictures I have found the two nearest the block are closer together.

Any help?

Sure looks like one to me.

 

the distributor I have measures 2 1/2" hole to hole on the two holes closest to the block and 3 3/4" to the front hole from either of the back two.

I have two v12s don't know what year but the numbers on the blocks near where the trani mounts are
56H A31622
A237
B2
and
56H A31622
L127
B2

Any idea where I can find out the year?
Thanks

I've been informed that what I have here is a '32 V8 distributor. thanks Rollie Customs.

Its Rille ! lol

 

Actually it's a 33-36 V8 distributor. 32's have the oiler in a different place.

 

looks the same , no ?.....yes, btt

 

Yep--'33-6 V8. LZ distributor has same mounting flange (this did not go unappreciated by early rodders...), LZ has bigger everything else, coil flange differs from any Ford, though one of the many different recipes for dual coil flatheads used an LZ coil on an adaptor on a /37-41 distributor with some Lincoln innards.

 

They knowledge on here always amazes me.

Thanks for the info.

Lincoln dizzy !

 

I recently acquired a 33-36 V8 distributor that has the adapter and LZ coil.

 

That's a neat piece Elrod. Converting the Ford distributor to hold the V12 coil and rotor is much rarer than converting the V12 distributor to fire only 8 plugs. The magazine article you show is the usual way they were done. At least that's what we usually find still surviving.
