I bought this many many years ago. On the bottom, it says Allison Automotive Company, 1613 Flower St., Duarte CA.
It a flower shop there now, how appropriate!

no, that was never my company. Funny thing though, they started out building those units in their garage about a block from where I lived when I was in high school in Covina. That company changed hands many times over the last 35 years. The last I heard is that Crane Cams owned it. Of course Crane shut their doors a couple of years ago, but recently I heard they are back in business. I can't tell you how many times over the years I got phone calls from people looking for parts for those ignition systems

Maybe when you were a kid, they liked your name and used it and you had no idea. Hmm Royalties and Residual checks.
