    Need help identifying this C1 ignition shielding top

    Help needed.
    I'm helping a good friend with his restoration of an early '59 fuelie.
    What is this original ignition shielding top, correct for?
    It is what I have commonly heard referred to as a "tall skirt" top.
    Measures about 5 and 1.2 inches high.
    Measures about 19 inches across at the bottom (base)
    Measures about 16 inches across on top, from corner bend to corner bend.
    Depth measures about 4 and 3/8ths inches wide, on the top, at the "distributor buldge".
    Appears to be stainless steel, but a strong magnet will stick.
    Does not appear to be flash chrome plated.

    Applications?

    Thanks in advance for any help. Ridge

      Agree with Doug, although the lower right in the picture from behind is hard to see and determine exactly how the cutout is done.
