That's a 1942-45 Ford USA Flathead distributor, known as a 'crab style' dizzy, they look like the post war Dagenham Flathead dizzy but are about half as deep. When they came from the range my Loyd had a cast iron version of the crab dizzy, trying to find one now is difficult most are aluminium. I guess cast iron was a wartime effort to keep pace with production and leave the aluminium for the aeroplanes.
