Re: [Chrysler300] What Is It

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is indeed, an adjuster for a distributor. It looks like it was used to set the initial advance/retard and then, the vacuum advance would turn the  distributor instead of just the point plate.
My guess is it's from the 30's or early 40's.
