Title: Correct date code for my 68 396 distributor ?
Post by: c1run1 on July 02, 2023, 09:10:25 PM

Hello ! ,
 I have a 68 convertible in very poor shape that is a real 396 SS i'm working on . The Original distributor is missing . I know the number i need but not the date code ? The car was built in July of 68 3rd week .  I will also be needing a carburetor to at some point as mine is seized  .
  I tried to up load photos but the files are to big i guess this forum is a bit out dated ?

L34, L35 or L78?  You can email me the photos and I can upload them.

Normally a distributor will be dated 2 weeks to 3 months before the engine assembly.
