Re: 499 distributor stamp opinion
The machined finish on ours is more like the one at the top. It has the definite step down about 5.16" from the top as shown on the second one. A good machined finish isn't necessarily typical though from what I have seen.

Re: 499 distributor stamp opinion
To be honest, I think that my distributor is a factory restamp. The area that has the numbers is missing the step for the cap, but the rest of the housing has the step.
Now I know that there were some factory engine restamps, so does my theory sound plausible for this distributor? I've never seen a restamp nowadays that has the correct fonts like this one. Here's another pic at a slightly different angle.

Re: 499 distributor stamp opinion
I found another distributor that's closer to the date I need, so I will put the August of 68 one up on the shelf for any future projects.

Re: 499 distributor stamp opinion
It screams 'restamp' to me.
