Gents, Hope someone can point me to the right information. I have a 71 350/270HP coupe and the previous owner replaced the distributor, but with the wrong one, as I need the one with the tach-drive.
I am looking for info on the right distributor with the part number, as I went through the whole assembly manual, and there is nothing listed for the distributor.
Thanks jjjslj
Part number is 1112050, imprinted on an aluminum band around the distributor shaft housing below the cap; the part number denotes the settings (distributor curve as determined by weights & springs, vacuum advance unit, etc) moreso than the distributor body, so it's possible to use a (pre-HEI non-transistorized) tach drive distributor from another year and have it properly set up to your engine's specs by a competent shop.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate this. Now, on to find the right one.

Much appreciated jjjslj
