Name that tool
I'm a sucker for odd tools in the dollar bins at swap meets. I picked this up recently. Google has not been helpful. K-D 2022 is stamped on the handle. What is is for?
Thanks

Looks like something to do with adjusting/holding brake shoes, maybe the old non self-adjusting type???? I have a bunch of old K-D drum brake tools but that's not one of them. I had no luck searching it either.

Very cool.
I thought you were supposed to get a t-shirt or hat from the tool truck guy if you needed a tool that he wasn't familiar with. I was wrong though. I ordered this from a SnapOn guy recently:
It's a piezoelectric pulse adapter to set the injection pump timing on a mechanically injected diesel. I got it for my 86 Ford f250. I guess I need to track down an Olds diesel now since I have a tool I could use with it!

I spent some time last night looking (googling) and not one picture or even a clue to its identity was found. I tried my darnest
I think you stumped the google. I'm glad we have the community here, for just this thing.

The Olds 5.7 sold a lot of Snap-On MT1480 Lumy-Mags. You'd set the timing by comparing the instant that the burn started in the chamber (based on the chamber lighting up as seen through a luminosity probe screwed into the glow-plug hole) compared to the magnetic crank sensor reading the 'slot" in the torsional damper. The timing cover has a holder for the magnetic probe, but GM didn't install a dedicated crank sensor.
Of course, you could set timing on a spark-ignited engine too--comparing the spark impulse in the plug wire to the crank sensor at the damper. Again, GM installed a holder for the probe, but no sensor.
The tool has a readout for degrees of advance, and RPM.
