Default Distributor Casting Numbers and Misc

Hey guys,

What do the nos cast into the top part of the older gear driven distributors mean

They talk about the bands in the books

I have an 821 from my 68. The case has a crack so I just got a new distributor

It is supposed to be from a jan car mine is an april car.

It has nos 240 but does not have the extra hole opposite the gear drive

there is no band

what do the nos mean?


This is also a TI distributor that i was sent and the magnet has a chip around the screw too

the vacuum advance is also stamped ms 163 16 is that right Also

My car is an april 68 435
