Distributer..Possible factory mistake??
« on: March 02, 2018, 07:26:46 PM »
My 67rs 327/275hp built in Dec. of 1966 is supposed to have a 1111249.  Mine has a 1111150 that was supposed to be in a 283/195hp (manufacture date Dec5/1966). Is it possible the wrong numbered distributer was put in the car because maybe they didn't have enough correct distributers that day? Date code for this "wrong" distributer is right on for the build. This 1111150 seems to have a worn bushing, but I don't want to rebuild it unless it came with my car. Thx!

I just pulled out the 1967-1968 Camaro Reference Book by John Hooper. Under the casting numbers for 1967 distributers, 327/275hp (auto) 1111249
                                                                                                                                                                                 327/275hp (manual) 1111150
Now I am very curious. What would be the difference between the two?? I would really like to know why the 1111150 is in my car with automatic transmission...
This is the best Camaro forum so I am hoping the right person reads this post.

Hooper is wrong.
It's 249.
Very small to none chance that it's original to the engine.
