distributor code?
 

i have a distributor thats been laying around in the garage and i decided to try and decode the numbers on it.

1111170
6g28

the part number comes up as a 67-68 396/375

all the sites i have been to have only listed dates from 7 and up. i guess its a late 66 piece? any way to tell what it came out of?

its complete and functional including the origional vac advance canister. any idea what its worth?

thanks in advance! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Probably from a L78 Chevelle...
I know that most 170's dated for a Camaro will bring $1200-1500 easy...
Don't know if a Chevelle one is as or more valuable.

its currently in origional and dirty (with a spot of orange paint on it too) condition. should i sell it as is or restore it?

Re: distributor code?
 

These were assembled in multiple batches and some way in advance of the anticipated engine/vehicles they were intended for.Your date of 1966,July,28th day seems typical to me for a 1967 model year vehicle which began production in Aug./Sept.1966.
With that date,it most likely would've been used in a 1967:
*427/385HP Passenger
*396/375HP Camaro
*396/375HP & 350HP Chevelle
..and for any above assembled in Canada too.
I would just wipe it down gently for now as it can always be restored later.
Let the new buyer restore it if they want/need to,so they'll have that satisfaction of knowing how & who did it.

thanks for the info guys!

so would i be being unreasonable to list it for $1250?
