413 distributer fit a 440/383

[Larry Chilese]

I have an friend who has a 413 Distributer #2444364 tach drive distributer, dual point.
Wondering if it would fit a 383 or 440 Mopar Big Block-I have no idea-thanks in advance.

It will fit the 440 but not the 383 or 400 for that matter.

Two families of big block are B and RB.
B's are "low deck" 350,361,383, and 400. RB's "raised block" have longer cylinders than the B's. RB's are: 383RB, 413, 426W, and 440 (I have never seen a 383RB). Many parts interchange between the two types, but your taller block distributor is not one of them.

It will work just fine if that is all he has. You just need the spacer for it. Many places carry it.

I almost bought two 1959 383 RB blocks. I offered him $100.00 each. He wouldn't take my offer and not worth more than that to me.

It'll fit the 440 but not the 383. But ... why would you want to ?!?!

can't you just change the shaft put a 383 shaft in or is something more on a dual point dist

I'd just do the spacer. Make sure the shaft isn't bottoming on the pump drive when installing.


FWIW, this distributor kit came with a RB length distributor and the spacer kit to fit the B engines.....
