hi all , while cleaning out an old mechanic friends sheds i came across this generator and was hoping someone out there can tell me what it is off.  looks as though it may fit a y block of some sort , here in australia we dont have the variations you do in usa. it is new old stock and as you can see it is 6 volt. hope you may help cheers

It looks like a generator to me.

Looks like a generator from a GM product.

sorry yes it is a generator

could be GM as he is a scrub nut but i thought ford used autolite ?

that should read scrub nut

every time  i put scrub it comes up as scrub??? why??

Blocky.  Our web site developer has a sense of humor!  I suspect that the 9 letter word that you're trying to use in your written entry starts with the letter 'C' and ends with the letter 't'.  The word refers to a vehicle developed and built by a fierce competitor of the Ford product line.  The developer of this web site has a severe dislike for the competitor's vehicles, and use of the competitor's product line name evokes negative feelings.  Because of the developer's negative past personal experiences, he will not permit the use of the word in the polite company of users of this web site.  IF you enter the 9 letter word, OR a 5 letter shortened version of the word that starts with 'C' and ends with a letter 'y', the web site developer's computer program will automatically substitute the word 'scrub'.

I hope this explanation helps you understand what is happening to your effort of a certain word entry.

Getting back to the original subject; Yes, the name Autolite is usually associated with Ford. So, it's likely a 1953 or earlier 6 V generator.  GM stuff  in that era would likely be Delco- Remy..
