  1. For a 6 cylinder, but no numbers or markings at all. Thanks.

    looks more like a Chevy 250, or similar straight six. If it has a number, it would be stamped on the housing, just below the cap, and hard to see without some cleanup.

    Cross reference the number stamped into the brass tip of the rotor at rockauto.com: https://www.rockauto.com/en/partsearch/

    Is there a part number stamped into the breaker plate, possibly underneath the points?

    It looks just like the distributor in my Checker, which has a Chevy engine...that design was used from 62 through 74.

    AMC used a smorgasboard of electric parts, it's possible that the 232/258 had a Chevy distributor at one point. I didn't find any on the the internets. But the bottom end of them looks just like this one, so, who knows?

    This is what the numbers should look like, sometimes they're stamped faintly.

    Yup , chevy straight 6 .
     
  10. Yeah this one has NO numbers on it anywhere. Seems odd, maybe it had a tag that fell off
    Anyways thanks everyone for the Id!
     
  11. interesting that the casting looks extra smooth. almost looks like it would polish up nicely.
