Thom asked about early distributers.

> I got four early, cast iron distributors with this parts stash.

>I've never seen before)

I've got one on my 1956, sedan and I see that they were used until up until
1960, when it gave way to the Bosch ZV PAU 4R1-5.

>        VJR4 BR18 (no vaccum advance hookup)

This was used on the Porsch 356B (1600), which I quess again puts it back
into the 1960s.

>        0 231 153 009 (yes, a 009, but really really old!)
No idea on the last find.

>        Any idea what motors these woulda come from?
