Where can I get a distributor cap and replacement retainer clip for the Wisconsin Six-cylinder engine used in the Cletrac 40?

Where can I get a carburetor that will fit the flange in the middle of the picture (Wheeler-Sclebler Model "AT" specified)?  The flange contains a butterfly operated by what looks to be a vacuum canister on the other side of the engine.

Anybody have a diagram of distributor/spark plug wiring and coolant hose arrangement?

I'm trying to help the Breckenridge, CO, Heritage Alliance prepare a display of a sawmill that was operated with this engine.

Is there a name on the distributor itself?

Haven't been able to identify it.  Were there aftermarket distributors?

I doubt the distributor was made by Wisconsin. It could be a Delco-Remy, or one of several manufacturers of electrical accessories. Some may even be interchangeable.

I did find a retainer clip and new cap from the cletrac.org advertiser Zimmerman Oliver-Cletrac.  Still looking for a carburetor.

Hi
I found a Wheeler-Schebler carburettor on Ebay a month ago. They are hard to find and there are alot of different models. What AT number har you looking for? ATXXX?

I only have the designation "AT" from a report of a Cletrac 40 testing.  No number after the letters.

I find a lot of W-S carbs on Ebay for cars, but they're all too small.  The mounting flange for this engine has an opening I measure at 1 15/16.  That farm test report describes the opening as 1 3/4.  The flange bolt holes are about 83 mm on center, or about 3 1/4 inches.
