Thanks Kurt. JM concurred as well.
Just wanted to be sure before I bought it (which I did).
As always, appreciate the help,

Is this stamping for real?
S/N looks a little suspicious.

Clearly the 7's and the 8's are not factory on these two distributors.
Thanks for the help fellas!

I thought it was a little questionable as the normal "lathe" lines are missing and the characters are different depths.
What about this one???

Hey Guys,
Does this look like a real "467" distributor stamping or, a restamp?

Thanks, I've seen that post but, it doesn't mention when the floating pins started in '68.
What month was your friend's engine with the pressed pins?

Originality / Late 1968 Z Rods?

« on: December 22, 2023, 04:29:56 PM »

Newbie here but, have been following the forum for years.
1st time question. I've read many posts that state Chevy went to floating wrist pins in late 1968 (and all thru 1969) for the 302 but, what Month in the '68 model year is actually considered late? Is it safe to assume that "late" indicates the last 4 months of manufacturing? Any examples out there?
Thanks for any info.
