NO DISTRIBUTOR.   I  DID WRITE DOWN THE VIN NUMBER, BEFORE I PAINTED THE BLOCK. "BY THE OIL FILTER". THIS INFO. IS NOW PACKED AWAY FOR MOVING, BUT I CAN SUPPLY IT AT A LATER DATE. THE BLOCK IS AN 010 CASTING. I ALSO REMEMBER THE MAIN BEARINGS BEING DATE CODED WHEN I TOOK THE MOTOR APART...........DON

JERRY,I  LIVE IN MANCHESTER MD., AND I BELIEVE YOU LIVE CLOSE TO WESTMINSTER, I AM GOOD FRIENDS WITH BRIAN TILLES OF CORV ETTE  SPEC. OF MD. AND HAVE WORKED FOR HIM.  I HAVE  OWNED THIS  MOTOR SINCE 1982. I FOUND IT THROUGH AN ADD POSTED IN 1982  @ EASTERN SPEED CENTER .I BOUGHT THE  COMPLETE SHORT BLOCK FOR $225. THE CAR WAS TOTALED IN  72, AND HAD 18,000 MILES.  THE SELLER USED THE HEADS, INTAKE, TRANEY ETC. THE CAR SAT IN A MD. JUNK YARD FOR 10 YEARS AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE MOTOR HAD  SURFACE RUST AND PITTING. THE  BOSS IS PITTED BUT THE NUMBERS ARE LEGIBLE,. THE ENGINE INTERNALLY WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND IS NOW REBUILT WITH A STANDARD BORE.  I PURCHASED THIS MOTOR FOR MY 69 Z ,WHICH LACKED IT'S ORIGINAL MOTOR .....DON
