Distributor for the Volvo "redblock" cylinder head uploaded earlier.
This is the "newest" style redblock distributor, it is very simple construction featuring only a spinning rotor inside the distributor cap. Rotor is directly connected to the camshaft and timing information is taken from RPM sensor on flywheel. There also exists possibility for mechanically adjust timing by simply rotating the distributor body's angle in relation to the head.
Again, this is not meant to be a exact replica; measurements were taken using non-digital caliper so some of them may be off. There are no bearings or oil seals for the shaft nor grooves to mount them.
It is meant to be a simple model demonstrating the mechanical operation of the part, and the scaled model does have channels for passing thin wires to each of the contact points to make it into a working miniature to light up LED's for example.
Files are in 40% scale, suitable to be used with miniature model of the cylinder head.
