I have a Igintion Point Question 69 RR

[frank]

I have a 1969 RR 383, 6.3.
I tried to change out the points, after pulling the points I realized that they don't match, (see photo). From the photo you can see that the post is way to short and the screw holes don't match. My guess is that the distributor is not the correct on. Anyway, does anyone know where I can fine one that matches the one I took out? The one I took out in the top one.

What brand of distributor???

 

[Cranky]

The one on top kinda look like Accel while the bottom ones look like stockers. Should be a tag on the housing. Does the distributor body have the condenser attached to the bottom?

i pulled out some chrysler dual points and they don't look like what you have in the top photo. the bottom set looks like single points. post a pic of your distributor.

 

[miller]

Both Prestolite and Mallory dual points I've had used two like the bottom set.
Still make a difference knowing what kinda dizzy...is there a tag on it?

I've bought new points for Chyrysler single point dist that looked like the lower set, but had a short hole like the top set, and could barely get the gap needed.
Then as the points wore down, I was unable to move them in closer.
I think they were asian junk.
The top set has no attachment insulator or screw and nuts for connecting wiring, and has a weird dogleg curve.
You have a Prestolite dual point dist or some other strange animal.
Upload pic of distributor, please.
8 points on the cam , or 4?

Can you send me a photo; also exactly what is the name of the points

 

[frank]

The bottom points are single point distributor,top is dual point.

If it's dual points how come there is only one in the distributor.

 

[Darthomas]

Is there a space for another set?
8 points or 4 points on the cam?
Did you just get the car?
Maybe someone didn't know they needed 2 sets in there, and that's why they got rid of the car, couldn't get it to run.
I got one that way, but it was a simple carb issue.

--------------------------
Lots of good question
It's 8 points
I've had the car since 2012, it runs great and has lots of power.
The only issue is with starting after it's been sitting other then that no problems.
I'm going to take another look to see if there's a place to put another point.

From what I can see it looks like an aluminum housing Chrysler distributor,one set of points,if cast iron 2 sets,a picture of the distributor would solve the problem !

Thanks for responding; I'll have some photos of the distributor tomorrow it's been raining here (Delaware) all day and I don't take her out in the rain.

 

[lewtot184]

i think that's a single point stock distributor.

 

[62MAX]

Without a doubt.

 

[frank]

I have a couple of photos of the of the inside of the distributor, this should help with determining the kind is points I'm looking for. There is only one post for the points not 2 that would indicated dual points.
Again, I'm trying to find out where to get points for the car.

 

[lewtot184]

it's just a stock single point distributor.
