Impossible, no. Improbable, yes. Can't imagine a distributor getting 'lost' for 8 months for a base 396/325 engine. sstwice Jul 9th, 07, 9:41 PM thats what i thought. Just wanted to hear it from someone else thanks. DaleM Jul 9th, 07, 9:46 PM :thumbsup: james a larson Jul 12th, 07, 9:46 PM Does the distributor have the correct grove in the cast housing just above the drive gear? If not it might not even be a correct distributor, just one with the tag switched.

This is when it is installed, so this is a more relavant date. There have been many confirmed cases of a long lead time of parts vs. a car or engine. Is it more common to be closer? Yes, but I have seen a lot of cases of stuff that has no explaination. These dates were not used to rotate stock. Only used for a early form of quality control.
