I'm not familiar with jlo Rockwell engines but I'm sure someone may know. A pic may also help someone identify it.

I have worked on them MAAAANY Years ago and have done points but cannot remember how, SORRY!
Will try and defrag my memory but think my hardrive has been dropped.
Made me think J Lo was a welder in flash dance !!!
