Bob, I checked two of the 1111169 distributors that I have.  One has the B1 vacuum advance and the other has the MS 201 15.  The 1111445 has the B1.  I believe the B1 was used on most of the 396 engines in 67 and 68.

Welcome Dave.

Those numbers don't sound familiar. How thick are they? Can you post a picture?

Are there any numbers stamped on the M21 on the main case, near the the joint between the main case and the tail housing?

Of the three 1111169 distributors that I have, all three have the 732 cam.  

I am pretty sure the 1111445 that I have also has the 732 cam.

I forgot, what was painted first?  The firewall black or the cowl white?

If you have not seen John's assembly process article, it is great reading.  Here is a link to the section that talks about paint...

Jim, you found another one?

Pics are too small to see any details.  If you want to send pics of the stripes to me, I can try to post them.  Thanks!

I found some more information in this thread link.

Mike, if you have not posted your information earlier, I would really appreciate it if you would.  This is what we are looking for.  If you already posted - Thanks!

If you have an original driveshaft and would be willing to post information about your car, it would be very much appreciated. Here is what to include...

Year of car
Norwood or Los Angeles car
Month and week of vehicle assembly
Engine
Transmission
Driveshaft length (measured center of u joint to center of u joint)
Driveshaft casting number
Type of attachment to pinion yoke. There are two types: U bolts and the strap and bolts method.
Code stamped on front of passenger side axle tube.
Paint stripes and a picture (if possible)
Position of the u-joint flanges on each end. Some cars were "in-line" and others were "clocked" about 30 degrees off from each other

Thanks Bob!

I have your M20 Muncie 4 speed transmission.

Carefully clean the area by the oil filter with some paint remover or lacquer thinner.  Do not use anything abrasive.  Then take some more pics at different angles.  I think I see a hint of some numbers. 

I have done oil pan removals both in and out of the car.  I don't think I will ever do another one in the car.  I know it is more work, but your chance of getting a good seal are better when the engine is on a stand.  Also this gives you a chance to check things over closely and address any other issues you may find.  But how you do it is up to you.  Good luck.

Steve,

I need one Navy blue shirt with print on front.

I read over all of the options.  Very, very interesting.  I also think it is cool that some of the cars were built with "Show Paint Required".  I wonder what was required for that?  Wet sand, buff and polish?
