Decoding/Numbers / 1111488 distributor

« on: January 17, 2012, 03:12:52 PM »

Hello, I'm looking to pick up a 1111488 distributor for a numbers matching car that we are going to add a little more detailing to and get a few incorrect parts repalced with the correct stuff. I'm just curious if this looks like a legit stamping since it seems like there are more and more restamps out there. The part number seems good, but the date I was most curious about. It looks like its a diffenert font and the 8 looks like it is upside down too. I guess I suppsoe that the part numbers are stamped on ahead of time and the dates are applied later so I can see how there is probably a differnt font ,but I just wanted to check and see what you guys though before I spent any money on it. I was also going to ask what something like this is worth? It is suppose to be in working order and just needs to be detailed/cleaned up and tuned once dropped in the car. I'd apprecaite any input that you all might have. Thanks.

Thanks a ton for all of your opinions I really appreciate it.  This particular M22 does not have a VIN on it.  Should I be worried about that? I had asked around on another site and they didn't think that it was a big deal.  They actually told me that they have saw some without a VIN's stamped on them in original cars (if I understood them correctly) and some with no stamps at all if they where over the counter replacement transmissions.  This transmission has less than a 1000 miles on a fresh rebuild.  What do you think that it is worth?  Thank you guys for all of your help.  I really appreciate it.  Have a great weekend.

I saw this on craigslist today and thought that someone on here may be interested in it or know of someone looking for one of these. I know nothing about it or the person selling it.  Mainly just an FYI.  It has been relisted a couple times so you might be able to deal a little with him as well.

General Discussion / M22 trans date stamp

Hello, guys. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this since I'm new to this forum so please move it if it needs to be.  I just wanted to ask if anyone here would be able to tell the difference between a restamped date code on a Muncie transmission and an original.  I have found one that I'm thinking that I'd like to buy for my car, but I just want to make sure that it's not a restamp before I go and spend the money on it.  To me it looks legit, but these days so many people are restamping things I just want to make sure.  Here is a couple pictures for you to check out.  Please let me know what you think.  Thanks again I really appreciate your help.
