What is it? Looks like you would screw it in the spark plug hole to lift the engine?

Looks to have 7/8 straight thread so would not work for Model T if that was your plan.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I don't know if this is a match; Ford Service Bulletins, hardback copy, page 162. Use two of these to remove a cylinder head from a hot motor. Your tool looks a little fancier than the one in the Bulletin. Hope you find them.

I use two 1/2 in pipe nipples screwed into number 1 and 3 spark plug holes to handle a model t head.. Easy and affordable.
