That would have been an aftermarket distributor. A Model B distributor had a main cap with arms, like a Model A, but it was slightly different in that it lacked an opening large enough for the manual spark advance arm of a Model A distributor. The small round cap at the top for the coil wire was the same for both the B and A. It used copper alloy connectors to the spark plugs, but these also differed both in length and in the shape of spark plug end (offset for the B versus straight for the A).

3w2: Thank you for clarifying the 32 distributor cap configuration. I do not currently own a 32 (although I wish I did). The old Model B 2-door that I helped replace a steering sector in (in 1956), had a cap that looked just like a late Ford 8N (side-mount) distributor cap. That old Tudor still had it's musty original interior, and headliner. I could have bought it for $75.00, but of course as a teenager working for $1.25 an hour, I couldn't afford it then, and probably couldn't now. I should, however indulge myself the the luxury of the excellent EV8CA 32 books, so at least I'm "literate". Thanks Again!
