The restampers are getting smarter with what dates were origionally used so your best bet would be to post a picture here as stated or you can pm me and send me a picture privately if you want. I was approached years ago by a supplier of restamped starters and now alternators that wanted me to provide all the dates that were produced for 70 ls6 along with rubbings of origionals so they could reproduce them in their words, exactly. I refused to help him as I feel the negative repurcussions far outweigh the positive. Let me know if I can be of help.

Mike, The picture that you posted is in my opinion a restamp. There are many reasons I say this, and if you'd like to send me a pm with your email, I'll gladly send you a picture of a real one along with what's wrong with your picture .

It would be looked at as a correct GM replacement part. Way better in my opinion than a restamp for many reasons. If it has not been tampered with , you end up with all the correct components for a fully functional piece that will help your engine perform as it was intended. Most restamps do not have the correct mainshaft or points cam that attain the correct mechanical advance rate and limit. The downside is only a few points lost for concours judging due to the service date code. As for engine application, the 1111437 distributor was only used on 1970 LS6 Chevelle applications for both Manual trans cars (M22) or Automatic cars (TH400). This date as well as one in June of 71 were produced for both crate engines and as service replacement parts.

I agree with ls6convertible on this one, total restamp. Here's a seller who has been selling restamped distributors on ebay for years. Obviously he is proud of this one as he claims this one to be origional. This is why unfortunately as much as I enjoy helping people you have to be careful how much help you give and to who as somebody always seems to end up getting ripped off due to somebody else's greed.
