--------Can anyone tell me the correct number on a distributor for a late (670,000 serial number) Norwood 69 Z28? Also how do you read the date? Trying to see if the one in a car I just bought is original. Thanks in advance...........Bill S

Bill I thought they all had the 1111480 dist and the date is read left to right, "yr,month,day"...I think..where is Darren??? oh and should have a dap of Gray paint if not messed with.

Bud,

I'm sure Darren is doing something VERY important...like working on that cool 69 Z

-----Wow, Bud! Thanks for the quick comeback. The date seems early to me (8L4). The engine has been detailed (incorrectly) years ago a bit, but appears to have never been out. It is dated E 20 9 and therefore is so much later than the distributor. I would swear no one ever chased a correct numbered part for this car, but Im not posative. What do you guys think?..........Bill S

Whats the number on that Distributor you said has the 8L4 date?
#1111480 is the Z-28 distributor.

its pushing it all right..last month of 68 and 5 months into 69 for the car...I dont know the time lines that are acceptable for Z's .....I really only speak '67

---------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.....
