that's pretty early for me..the motor is built January 17, 1969...I don't know if it will fly (what's the point in getting a correctly coded distributor only to have the dates be in error - ya know?) I will keep you in mind.

And thanks for the reply.

Well that sort answers the question I just posed about dating in a new thread. :o

I had a line on a Nov 30th dated one but it did not pan out...I have access to an October 24th dated one...based on what you just said that would seem fine.

Post by: firstgenaddict on May 08, 2008, 02:53:38 PM: Yep, I would go with the Oct 24th one...

Post by: KurtS on May 12, 2008, 03:54:05 AM: Most were pretty close, but it wasn't a First In, First Out supply system, with mine and James' as examples. ;)

Post by: Flowjoe on May 12, 2008, 04:09:26 PM: I went ahead and picked up the Oct 24th one after the Nov 30th fell through...now someone has offered me a nov 11th...when it rains it pours

Post by: Pacecarjeff on May 14, 2008, 04:24:37 AM: I have a WHOLE BUNCH of original 489's
Sure I have any date you need.

Not really sure what they are worth anymore. $200 seems too high.
