I've got a 444 distributor dated 8A31. When did they switch to the 478? I bet that 7G21 distributor is original to the car. The rest of the car is just too unmolested.

Jeff,

For what it is worth, my 69 Camaro with 12K miles was built the first week of Jun, 1969. The steering box is dated 257 of 1968.

Bob Jones L-79 has a 7G21 date on his dist with the yellow stripe! Must have been a L-79 thing.
