---------480 is the number on the distributer in question and 8L4 is the date........Bill S

8L4 - distributor date code - Dec. 4th, 68
color code/paint spot: 11/V - gray paint, vacuum equiped distributor
All 69 Z's had the 1111480 distribuor
If the engine block was cast 5 months after the distributor was assembled, that is indeed a big stretch. 1-3 months would be more believable.

Don't know the seller, but here is a 480 dist on ebay dated May 13. Perhaps you could sell yours to recoup the cost of this one.

I have a Dec 68 block with a June or July 68 distributor.
Though not common, chance it is original to the block.

I'm more concerned about the block date to the car.....

Can you tell us why are you concerned about that block casting date to that car?

May engine in an August car?
Could be, but I'd be checking for an oil filter VIN....
