A friend purchased a Flat Head still in the rebuilders crate. (stored for years) Some extra parts were thrown in which he can't i.d.

A Ford distributor which appears at a glance to be a 1956, Y-Blk, c/w dual chamber vacuum advance, springs above the breaker plate etc. However, it has a 15 tooth gear on it, not 14 & the vacuum setup has three ports. Only number readable on it is 12127. Any ideas?       

An oil pump,which again appears to be Y-blk but I'm not sure as mine is on the engine. # is COAE 6600 ORS  (the R may be an A ?)

A starter- Wilson 12V. 91-02-5792

A Clutch which  he says is 12" . I suggested its probably for a truck. Yes or no ?

Paul:

Lincoln Ys had 15 tooth gears.  The three vacuum connections says "governor" to me.  So I would guess it to be a '56 HD truck with the Lincoln based engine.  And trucks did use 12" clutches.  I even have a 292 Y truck flywheel that used a 12" clutch.  I'm sure the HD Lincoln engined trucks had 12" clutches.  Can't help with the oil pump or starter.  Lincoln and Y oil pumps are the same, and the starters will fit, but may have different torque ratings.

John: Thanks, I had a hunch the distributor was from a Lincoln/truck engine. Maybe I'll con..er.. buy the oil pump from him. He has no use for it. ..While I'm here, Seasons Greeting & the Best of the New Year to you & all on this great site!..
