Identify this mystery distributor

I just found this distributor, it looks like it will fit a V-8.
IT HAS DUAL POINTS AND THE CAP IS A DELCO REMY.
I can't find any manufacture names on the body.
the pictures do not do this part justice, it looks new!
Anyone have any clues:confused:

Reminds me of a buddy's 40 Ford pickup that he had in the mid-50's. Buddy's Dad, a machinist, thought the Ford distributor was a 'pain', and he made an adaption to run a Delco off of what was then a current Buick V8. He put it right up there where it was in plain sight & easy to service. (This was before Chevy V8's, pre-55)
This looks like a very nice adaption - must be 'modern', if it's as Bubba guesses - mag pickup.
 
Anyone know how to get a hold of Norm Frick. I am looking to buy one of his dual distributor mounts. I have a set of elco twin spark heads and the distributor for them but would like to run one of Norm's dual mounts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I like to get this flathead running sometime soon.
 
If you Google Norm Frick there is several different ways to contact him.. Im jut notmsure any of thosenways still work.

Judging by the shape of the casting it looks like it is using a pair of fairly large bevel gears, rather than the usual cam/distributor high helix gears. Might partly explain the relatively large diameter of the upper body.
