Identify This Distributor, Please.

This was on my rebuilt 440 out of a RV.

Distributor: 2875186 14 8 Vacuum Advance: 2875084

The vacuum advance part number comes back to 1968 C Body 440 motor. Couldn't find the distributor part number, closest part number is 2875181 which is 1968 single point dist.

Found this when i googled the part number. chrysler,1965,imperial,6.7l+413cid+v8

 

[BeepBeepRR]

Not sure how accurate that is but thats what came up.

 

[themechanic]

How do you tell the build date?

Hell now I'm confused.. I just did a search again and came up with this for a 67 charger with a 440

Aparently the list of distributors for those big blocks are vast..

Yep, I searched RockAuto and found that distributor has hundreds of applications including A, B, C bodies and trucks.

I did see a 440 "date coded to 69" on ebay that said the code is 48.. So can we assume the 87 is the date code?

 

[themechanic]

Found it. The "14 8" means it was made the 14th week of 68.

See this page about 2/3 down http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dateCodes101-2.shtml

 

[idrivemopar]

So if that's the case and the vacuum advance part number is for a c body, the I would agree it came from 68 c body car with 440.

Thanks for posting the Hamtramck page, I always forget about that page! LOL Its good stuff!

 

[themechanic]

I had it bookmarked, too, but forgot.

That's a list of what say a cardone rebuild fits, they middle out the curves so one fits all.
