Can anyone tell me what kind of distributor this is? Is that the condenser attached to the side of it?

Distributor: I don't see any vacuum dashpot hanging off the side of the distributor body, so it isn't a stock distributor. Probably a "009" centrifugal-only one.

The small sliver can hanging off the side of the distributor is indeed the condensor.


Wire: That's the oil pressure "idiot light" sender. Turns on the oil pressure light when the pressure is very very very low.

Thanks!

Can the idiot light sender be replaced with a oil pressure gauge in same location?
