Thank you all for the guidance. It is very much appreciated!

Thanks for you help. I didn't realize it was all part of a distributor. Looks like it was made for Fords. Hopefully, I can just buy the part that broke rather than an entirely new distributor kit. Thanks Again.

Your last photo shows it all, it's an after market part, a distributor has been fitted to your engine, now will need some photo's of the other side to see if period one or a modern one.

Ok thanks

Here are some more pics. I couldn't really get a good shot from the other side, but tried. It seems to be a cover for the timer/commutator, but I'm not seeing the same type online. Not sure where this one came from...

Here's another from further back

I need to get another pic from the other side, but here's one a bit further back

Take another pix back further & the other side also. I cant tell what that is. Clip on Distributor base?

Ok - Just saw this. I'll upload some additional photos, thanks

Ok, so now I'm thinking it is the timer cover, it just appears different than others I'm seeing online. Does anyone know which specific type this is?

I recently purchased a 1926 Roadster. When attempting to start, I managed to do some damage, but I'm having trouble identifying what I need to purchase to repair. It's by the timer, but it's not the timer and I don't believe the cap.
