Hot Rods Who made this distributor

Any idea of manufacture?

 

Aftermarket, but not sure.
CCW rotation, judging from the vacuum advance position.
Ford liked to use the advance cam mounting like that, rather than from the side.

The trigger wheel looks like a Mopar, but the pickup doesn't.

No OE used a circuit board inside the Dist. that I know of.
All the searches keep showing the HEI replacements now, even if you type in "-HEI".

 

I had a hunch, so I did some googling.

 

Mr. Squirrel you the man. My google just can’t hold a light to yours. Thank you!

 

@squirrel , hunches usually get me going in the right direction too. Thanks for the insight.

 

Thats what I thought it was when first seen it posted , that it was Accle , but also look like some one added to a stock Oem distributor , back in lats 80's into 90s
There where kits, & I am sure others like me making one off items using parts from multiple different manufacturers
That will make people scratch there heads what they are looking @ if end up with My / Are stash pile of parts / hoarding if not all cleaned out gone to scrapper

 

here's the rest of it.

one of those times when it ISN'T a dodge!!

 

well....actually, Accel used Dodge tune up parts, such as cap and rotor and reluctor, so maybe it is a Dodge?

 

Your hunches work better than most people's educated guesses.

 

It came out of a chevy

 

interesting distributor, uses a Ford vacuum advance and Dodge cap/rotor, and fits in a Chevy.

 

Yup. I had a Accel distributor in my Malibu in the 1980's.

The cap and rotor were Mopar.

 

I bought a similar old (CHEAP) ACCEL electronic SBC distributor to modify for my 8ba flathead. The electronic modules are no longer available, but as mentioned above, they use a MOPAR V8 pickup coil and reluctor .... both are available from ROCKAUTO. I'm proposing to use a remote mounted GM HEI module when the ACCEL one eventually dies.

 

i'd like to see that in the chevy....

 

I meant the one in the first post in the thread...it's a Chevy distributor.

 

ah!!

 

Yep, when a lot of Accell distributors were floating around it was pretty common to use a Mopar cap and rotor on them when you couldn't get Accell pieces Or were too cheap to pay for them, you could use the Mopar pieces.

 

There's a story about Lamborghini buying a new clutch for his Ferrari, and discovering the Ferrari price he paid for it was actually a Lamborghini tractor clutch.
