First Generation Firebird
Posted By: Stripes Distributor date codes 400 1969 4 speed - 05/17/17 04:58 PM
My firebird had a non oem distributor when I purchased it and I would like to change it to a stock one. The firebird is a 4 speed, with a body build of 10D or the 4th week of October, 1969.

I believe a 1111952 would be appropriate.

What date codes on the 1111952 would be reasonable for my car? How far in advance were the distributors typically made to the build date of the car. My engine was cast in 8-69.

Thanks!

Ok, another mystery i solved myself. I had 3 old pontiac distributors. Found my original was a 1111955 date coded 9J12. I think thats either sept or oct 14, 1969. Some say " I " was skipped, some say it wasn't. Anyone have an I date coded distributor?
99% for sure 'I ' eye was not used because M is used

if I was used M would not be used

I am fairly certain M was dropped after 67.
