A buddy of mine is asking if this was an aftermarket distributor for a Model T. Unfortunately he does not have the ability to send me a pic but he did send the numbers and info:

WICO Model X
Spec. XH-184

Any ideas what he has?

That would probably be a magneto.

I believe that is a 4 cylinder tractor magneto. Might work for cross drive or side drive mag on a Model T, but I'm not sure of the mounting.
