No....I think that's a race intake manifold.......probably from a McLaren.

I thought below it was a washing machine used to fill in a hole in the drywall. Lol

Dang....you're right...that's a tumble dryer......only used when the supply of washing machines has dried up - and only for indoor applications.

I missed where it was explained why it is called an "Ignition wrench".

I'll take monkey wrench vs pipe wrench for $100 please.

it's amazing who doesn't know the difference.

I think that is a open end/box end wrench.

It's a combination wrench. All the oddball sizes were used for machine screw nuts on points, condensers, and coil connections. They were called "Ignition Wrenches" for that reason. I sold a lot of these through the years. The wrenches in the Mac set are "angle wrenches" and really help get in those tight spots.

Distributor wrench

These days you can just buy 'Crows feet' wrenches that fit on an extension bar.

Dad got this whipped up from the fellas at work. Works great with the long reach/ box end.
