Geez.....probably made in China on a poorly made mold from plans stolen from the USA. Take that sucker back!

It says made in the USA in a standard red box from rock auto

One is for a standard distributor, the other is for an old dual point prestolite or tach drive direct connection electronic. If it has a spring loaded button in the middle, it's prestolite.

You know your stuff,
I went back in the listing and it says Prestolite Oh well you live and learn

 

[wantonebad70]

Well at least the wires fit nice and the spark plugs

Just lucky. I had a prestolite in my runner, and I'm still using a dc tach drive dist in my 62. Both use the same cap with the spring loaded post.
