Stopped by the moving sale at Blanchard Auto Electric in Seattle today. Saw these two sitting off to the side:

I figured Brandon might get a kick out of these. They have a really cool art-deco design. The guy told me the magneto tuner had been claimed by someone who just wanted to have it sitting in their shop as a conversation piece. In theory I think the distributor tuner could be used to recurve an HEI, but I have no room and no time to mess around with it.

I did find some dirt cheap shelving for the new shop however.

Distributor tuner would be neat once every 10-15 years. Would love to use one for a 1/2 hr for 74's dizzy. Other then that everything else has an ecm doing the timing curve.

That is pretty friggin cool. Probably weights as much as a new Honda. Would make a great piece for the Lemay collection or some other really wealthy car enthusiast. Or a bomb shelter if the ruskies attack.
