1111498 distributor
 

I was digging around in the shed a while back and found a 1111498 dist dated 8M11...I believe I pulled it out of a BB nova.
This might kind of a stupid questio but ,since there's not 13 months in a year....does the M stand for march?

I was told it fits 69 chevelles 396/350 hp ,would it also be correct for 396/350 hp camaro and novas?

I know that some of the high HP distibutors are brings crazy prices these days...but are 396/350 hp's worth much of any thing?

1111498 distributor!! used in 300 hp 350 , auto trans pass,camaro,chevelle,nova . as for the date 8m11 is 1968 december 11th . good date for a SS nova or camaro 1969 !!

Re: 1111498 distributor
 

GM skipped the "I" because it looked too much like a "1".
So the M is for December.

I think you are confusing this with a 489 distributor. The 489 was used on 350/300hp

The 498 should be a 396/350hp distributor

HI HOW MUCH TO BUY

Re: 1111498 distributor
 

The '498 was for a 69 L/34 396-350hp ( manual transmission ).

The auto transmission got the '499 distributor.

My listing says the 498 distributor is for the L34 engine. I have one in our L78 Chevelle presently. Close enough for me. Cost all of $20 at a swap meet and that included the plug wires. The L78 and COPO should have the 1111499 unit...at least in '69.
