Most of my special tools are for air cooled VW's, but here are a couple.

Pretty easy one, but I am surprised how many people don't know what it is.

This should be a no brainer, I picked it up with a bunch of stuff at an auction, and although I am 99% sure what it is, I am not exactly sure how to hook it up.

And another pretty easy one:

First one is for dressing grinding wheels.

Second, is that a light or a button?

Third, no clue. A very sketchy pull-start accessory?

3rd one's a windshield/glass removal tool.

Neat little 'S & M' group there.

Correct on the grinding wheel dresser and windshield tool.

The third is a light, not a button. I'm thinking an old timing light, that connects to the plug wire on one end and plug pn the other? It has a curly bulb in it, I tried to take a pic, but it really doesn't show the bulb very good.

Spark tester, I can see that. Long enough leads to test spark from the driver seat.

Here's my first one, but it doesn't count since it's easy:

This is a home made (well, made in the Chevrolet Die room) cam degree wheel, from before they were commercially available. This bad boy is about 2 feet in diameter.

That response wasn't quite so immediate. ;)

I have to step away for a few minutes so I'm going to load

I have no idea what this one is. Was in my Dads old toolbox.
