I call parts like this "volunteers". They fit and work ,but they are not regulars. Does anyone recognize it?

I was gonna say a 292 (?) cu. in. Chevy 6. I had one on my '50 Dodge for years. It was big enough to yank the hand choke, rev her up, light up the Model T coils and fire off those spark plugs in the tail pipes! Flame throwers are illegal in New York State! Gary.

  Heard of a guy melting a gals nylons with a deal like that. We would run a small line from the out side of the fuel pump with a solenoid valve to a small nozzel you could recreate Cape Canaveral.
