Title: Kurt S...Hello. My 480 distributor.
Post by: 69Z28 on April 19, 2009, 12:42:46 AM

This is the best pic I can get with the el-cheapo camera I have. Sorry...kind of blurry, but I'll take a shot. Does it look authentic?

Its been banged up a little at the 1111 numbers but after looking at a few junk distributors I have it doesn't appear to have been tampered with.

has the #532 cam, is dated 9  E14. Is there anything else to look for?

Thanks,
Gary

Does not look real from this photo, and it's blurry.

Well...that doesn't sound too encouraging. Yeah, the picture isn't that great. I'll try to get another one today. When did the re-stamps start showing up? I bought my 06A Z in 2000 and it was in the car. I contacted one of the owners some years ago who had it (car) in 1988 and he got it (distributor 9E14) along with the crankshaft, heads (May 27, June 1) intake, and a service replacement 4053.

Thanks,
Gary

Will this help any?

It's a restamp.  These starting showing up in the mid to late '90's.  I was burned many times during that period by a seller in IA.  This is before checking became so anal.  Now I have a photo data base with hundreds of originals.
