499 distributor stamp opinion
I bought this distributor a while ago and would like to get some opinions on the stamping.
I need a distributor with a May or June date, so I'd be willing to trade this to someone. TIA

Rick .. to help determine real or not look at the 4 in the 499 if it is real it should have little diamond like spots in all 3 corners. Doug

Re: 499 distributor stamp opinion
Where are the 'Saturn' lines that normally go around the casing? Something doesn't look right to me, but.....

Re: 499 distributor stamp opinion
Check the diameter of the housing with a vernier. That will tell you if the O.D. has been machined down.
