The distributor a mystery to me...but look UNDER the flat "head"...shape looks a lot like the ARDUN heads of old...
Sidney Allard commissioned Zora Duntov (yes, the 'Vette guy) and a guy named Arlen Ness (if memory serves) to make them for his Allards...the ARDUN head converted the flathead to a OHV engine.
