Appears to be a coil; in what I don’t know, is it a handmade case the coil sits on? Or factory? Marine? Is this for a car , truck? This is a late 1953 manifold for 331 Hemi, Stromberg Aerotype 2BBL, with the “heated” carb riser. Any ideas? Thanks all!!
24 volt could be industrial or military. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/interesting-chrysler-hemi-donor-vehicle.1181794/
