What Dual-Point Distributor
I have my 1964 Corvette cast iron Dual-Point Distributor with vacum advance, no grease cap.
In the breaker plate reads: Accel 514 CCW Made in USA and outside the frame/leg(tach pad) reads only big casting number 840 under the breaker plate reads X14 casting number.
Would anybody know with this information what distributor it is, Accel, Delco, or....

Only 62's used a dual point, tach drive distributor, but they didn't have a vacuum advance. None of the 62-74 tach drive's had a grease cap.
It doesn't look like an Accel distributor. They're usually thicker under where the breaker plate mounts, have an ID tag riveted to the case, and the case is usually smoother, not a rough cast finished.
I think it may be a Delco distributor, that someone converted to dual point, using an Accel breaker plate?

Accel placards the back side of the distributor with a part number.
I have a Accel Dual Point Dizzy in a box among boxes among boxes in the garage.
Example: serial #34100

Ok and thanks everyone
. I was thinking of myself too that it is Delco and someone has a little "pimp" it. I ordered Accel 2010ACC breaker eliminator kit and perhaps it will work in this distributor. Maybe the breaker plate needs to be replaced change to stock plate, maybe not, will see.

you will need a stock single point breaker plate for that kit to work
