Just purchased this for my Model-a http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=360083888469

Anybody ever heard of one of these before or familiar? says its for model-A guess ill find out.

 

Looks cool as hell. Not sure what it is, but I like vintage parts.

 

That was my thought. Might be able to convert it.

 

Hopefully I will be able to use it. it does look cool as hell, i did a hamb search but couldnt find anything and again on google but no luck.

 

It's off a Westinghouse gas powered washing machine.

It looks OLD. I like old stuff>>>>.

 

Good news is people collect and restore the motors off wash mechines .I see them all the time .

 

After searching in more detail iv stumbled upon this chapter from,

"Automotive Ignition Systems By Earl Lester Colsolive"
http://books.google.com/books?id=HK...X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA106,M1
From page 103-107 definatly not for a wash machine but for an early automobile.

 

Here's some information and the wiring system. Try Google,just like a HAMB search-lots of info.
