If my google fu is any good that is a 27turn motor and the number represents how many degrees of timing it has.

Whether its any good is another matter entirely. Might be good for a period specific install.

Yeah they were a 27t motor...The amount of advanced timing out be semi useless in a crawler.
Those things run hot and don't have a heap or bottom end torque.

I would say you can try it and find out, but there is potential to release the magic smoke from it.

Looks like a locked timing motor, will likely run fast in one direction, suck in the other one.
Which is which depends on your rig and what motor rotation it needs for "forward".

I would likely save it for another use.

It's an old 27t stocker that was for other organization that didn't agree with the 24 degrees ROAR set....

Would work fine in a single motor crawler that used a normal rotation motor....but terrible in something like a wraith.

They will run on the hot side, so gear accordingly....RPMIsh motor, so use a smaller pinion.

Reverse speed really isn't that big of an issue....
