http://www.chevellestuff.com then Other Decoding Stuff > Engine Stuff > Distributors then scroll down to 1970. Data are from old NCOA published information.

Date could be anywhere from a week to a couple of months prior to engine build date. Dates on parts are pretty much subjective.

mr, Where do you go to reference the distributors?
I normally use the books, "Chevrolet by the numbers 1970-75" or "Chevrolet by the numbers 1965-69"... Don.

Delco Remy Service Parts catalog shows 1111436-454-350hp, 1111963 454-390hp,1111437 454-450hp
1111200 >396/350hp auto trans and 375hp.

this info is from 3/1/1972 catalog revision

The #1111963 is the proper one for the LS-5 Engine in all its usage (except Corvette) and this includes the Monte SS454 and LS-5 Equipped Full size Chev, as well as Chevelle. It will not work for the Corvette which needed a Mechanical Tach drive distributor. As of yet, in 20 years in the parts business, all I have seen have been dated late 69, or Jan 15th,1970. I have yet to see a later date, and I have had the Jan 15th date several times. It is possible that no later date exists, since these things were produced in "lots" or "batches" on a particular date. Has anyone else ever documented a later date #1111963 ? My, point being, rvhaus, you may not be able to get real close in dates to the April build date of the car, and remember to lead the production of the engine assembly date. You will need to check that before you get one.

thanks Jeff! I appreciate your help. If you know of one available let me know. thanks again JACK

I have one of these. It has a 9K9 date code. I have a 72 LS-5 and I need a 1112052. Anybody have one laying around?

mr says the correct number for the 1970 402/350hp, automatic is part #1112000. bigfred66 says the number is 1111200. Which number is correct?

bigfred66 has a typo.

the number is 1112000

I am looking for an affordable distributor for my Jan. 29th LS5 Chevelle also. Let me know if anyone has one.

Here's another question, then. if the 396/350 auto is 1112000, what is the 396/350 4-sp # ??

The correct one for the 1970 402/350 with 4-speed is 1111999.
