Interesting! Any idea on the brand or manufacturer? What shape is the drive gear in?
 
Its a Spalding flame thrower

:D The distributor is basically split in 1/2. instead of having 8 cam lobes for the points to operate on it uses 4 and has 2 rotors (on the same drum) and 2 distributor caps and 2 coils. from what i understand this system has advantages over a normal distributor (less point bounce, more dwell time, less chance of cross firing, etc..[cl
 
I saw one like that before but its been a long time and I just can't be sure where, but I think it was on an airboat motor ? or maybe at big daddys place, it escapes me but I remember seeing that weird thing, pretty sure it was on an airplane motor in an airboat, hope that helps a little,in any case let us all know, when you find out for sure,
 
Stolen from the H.A.M.B
