i am working on a 68' chevelle SS 396. looking for the correct water pump and distributor numbers. The engine was built in Feb. 1968. Most of this car is numbers matching so i would like to make it 100% right.

Water pump-3856264, this is the short pump used on '65 to '68 big block applications in passenger, Chevelle, Corvette, Camaro, and Nova.

Distributor, unless it's an L78-1111169, 1111170 for the L78 motor.

Components should be date-coded before engine assembly date stamped on the pad, usually within 3~4 month maximum, 1 week minimum.

thanx for the necessary info. Reading thru all these resto books is getting me all confused. It seems that they all contradict each other. Anyways, let the build continue.
