These are about as close and still be clear as I can get of the stampings.

Re: 1111499 Distributor Question??
 

OK, hopefully this will put this discussion to bed once and for all. For good or for bad. I just went to my friends shop and he measured my 1111499 distributor body with his micrometer and it is, as he says, "exactly 3.806."

Now if someone out there who has a known original 1111499 distributor and not a re-stamp, will please measure theirs, we will know for sure if my distributer has been turned to remove the old numbers and then re-stamped.

I am anxiously awaiting a response.

Thanks,

Measured one of mine and come up about the same.

I am afraid we will never be sure.

Jerry MacNeish looked at the distributor and stated it was real and not a re-stamp. I guess that is as good as it will be.

Example of how one can almost look too clean. It has been cleaned very well, but the 4 and the 9's are dead on. Have never seen a restamp that got those exactly correct.

Al, when you go to list it again, I would suggest trying pics without flash. The flash makes it look even more shiny than it is. Natural light will work much better.

Already listed. I wish it was a Dec date.
Good luck!
