Re: 1111499 distributor
looks like a typical service piece to me...but i am no expert..i just observe
they are batch stamped on the more rare, low production distribs..you can see the witness marks on the deeply stamped piece from the gang stamp tool, and that deep you would expect to see them..since they where stamped by hand no 2 would be identical..
and ive seen that exact witness mark many times on buick olds and pontiac more rare and low production parts like stage1 ram air and w30 pieces,,and there are known dates
during early production, like the beginning of the year..you see more "perfect" stamps but during the run GM had no idea during production how many they would need for the line and service combined so a periodic batch of x-many would be produced
ive seen it on more than a few distribs and carbs
the olds guys have figured out the diameter of an orig to compare anything in question..since 4 speed w30 pieces bring so much,,
you could mic the known,if the one in question is smaller, then it could support the idea its been turned and stamped
