Anyone know the original distributor ID?

My friend owns one. I'll ask him if he can take a pic of the stamped #s.

I need to know too......thanks

Good luck . I just tried.  If the distributor is installed correctly the front of the intake typically obscures taking a picture of the suffix of the number.

Gary can do it!

LOL it isn't me taking the picture. I thought I got one before of my ED 70 dist. Bob is right. It is hard to see but possibly with a mirror or bore scope?

Gary can do it!

If anyone can Gary can . No pressure.

The pressure is I'm relying on a person a thousand miles away from me.  . So tell me is an air dist diff than a non air dist? On CJs there are just 2 in 69 auto and manual. Same for 351W 4Vs?

I think you can get the phone in there. Thats how I checked mine. I find it useful now that the laser sharpened eyes are fading

[shelbymann1970]

Well Colin's old GT350 air 4 speed Vert has an aftermarket dist/ignition system in it but the original was boxed up. No reason to think it isn't correct?

[Bob Gaines]

What vacuum advance ? Single or duel ?

[Coralsnake]

We need more data!

[shelbymann1970]

I'll ask. My assumption(I know we shouldn't go by assumptions) is that the Ford shop manuals the 351W is the only Ford engine in 1969 that shows a single advance for both manual and automatic. That is why I have asked about my original rare 1970 ED dist(june of 69) that was a dual advance and no reason to suspect otherwise for a 70 but they tweaked the cars for 70 emissions. I have seen a few 70 GT350 4 speed cars with dual advances.

[shelbymann1970]

The prior pics are of the original dist(?) in Colin's old 69 Gt350 air 4 speed vert. The assumption(I KNOW, assumption) could be that the pics below are the advance that came on the orig dist sitting in a box that came with the car? Sorry, best I can do right now. Is this an original single advance from 1969? I asked for some stampings on it if they are present. I have never seen a dual advance on an "original" 69 Shelby 4 speed but I have on a few 70s like my car.

[Coralsnake]

Thats the 69 single vacuum advance

I am pretty sure we will find the new 1970 distributors had the dual vacuum advance.
