Title: Need help identifying distributor shaft for 1111467 distributor
Post by: Ramjett54 on August 04, 2012, 10:33:07 PM

Hey Guys I'm trying to put my 1111467 distributor back original I have a 532 points cam but I need to know which shaft was correct and what number it would have stamped on it or other identifying markings.
Also I have numerous centrifical weights how do you identify the correct ones for  the z28 shaft, points cam combination. According to gmwiki.com sbc used several different numbers, all the ones I have seem to all have the same profile. Were there different profiles or different weights?

I think the weights were all the same. You would get your advance to change with the different stiffness of springs. Mind you I have seen and ground counterweights to change the advance but not without a machine to tune it with.

Sorry it took a while to respond to this - I recently took my 467 apart (from the condition and appearance I believe I'm the first to do this). It has the 532 cam, and the shaft is marked "48" under the plate on the end of the shaft (see grainy pic). It does not correspond to the listed part number in my parts manual, which should be the same for all 3 years of 302's - 1969762. Since you've got my curiousity started, I'm going to look at my 480 and 499 shafts to see what marking is on them.

P.S. I forgot to add the springs and weights part numbers - 1969107 springs for 67-68 302's. weights were 2 possibilities - 1880902 (67-68 Camaro exc. 327,4BC 350) or 1965843 (68 Camaro w/ Sp. H/Per, 327, also 66-70 350 w/A.I.R., pass 396, 68 Chevy Camaro 350 exc. PG). If I can find any markings on the weights, I'll post them too -

Thanks for responding, it appears there is little documentation on this subject, I hope I get more responses so we can know definitively which are the proper parts and how to identifiy them.
Thanks again
Roger

Roger,

   No problem. I checked the shaft of the 499 that I have apart - 100% original just like the 467 before disassembly - it's stamped "163". I'll check the 480 when I can get to it - I'll report on it too. Anyone else out there with a number, please check in -

Regards,
Steve
