VW air compressor.
Runs on 2, and compressor on the other 2.
Had a special camshaft.
Our local Firestone truck tire store had 2 of them, back in the 70's.

The Bosch tag appears to be partially in French, and the distributor is for a two-cylinder engine. Panhard cars are French, and post-WWII models used 2-cylinder engines. It could also be from a Rovin, which is a French microcar powered by a 2-cylinder engine (except in very early models). But I have no idea if either or both used Bosch distributors, and if so, why they might use a modified 4-cylinder design. I'm getting the Panhard or Rovin vibe from "Import of Germany" in French on the Bosch tag.

That sounds correct to me. I wonder if you ran the air lines into the intake if it acts like a supercharger?
