also 4b10 on the tag? is that the date code has 500 cast in bottom of the housing is that the shaft diam. thanks c.w. fer telling me to check fer more #'s i thought someone might need it for a restoration or something!

 

Feb 10 1964, apparently.

 

it doesnt have the oil tube the picture has and the advance looks like newer style maybe been replaced?

 

thanks fer the help guys!

 

or maybe the illustration is a generic one from a parts catalog? which is more likely

 

Oldsman, it's for a 63 Chev. 283 .

 

when did they go to aluminium? not as old as i thought! ill hang it on the wall again thanks again cjc/om71

 

mid-late 60s they went to aluminum, except the tach drive were iron all the way to 74

 

shows how much i know! i didnt know they made one with a tach drive from the factory! thanks squirrel did i see you on a show raceing with dave friburger? going to differant tracks er something?

 

yeah, that was a fun weekend! The site that had the video is gone now, unfortunately

The Vettes always had tachs, they were driven by the generator in the early years, then by the distributor, then when they went to HEI in 75 the tachs were electronic instead of cable drive.

 

hi not trying to hijack this thread but my distributor has the oil tube ,does any one know what and how much and how often to oil it thanks joe

 

from a 1959 chevy owners manual:

"On 8 cylinder models, fill hinge cap oiler with light engine oil every 1000 miles. Every 5000 miles, the distributor cap should be removed and 1/2 drop of light engine oil applied to breaker lever pivot. Do not use any lubricant on cam lubricator wick, replace wick when contact points are replaced."

Keep in mind that you were supposed to be in there changing the oil and lubing the ch***is every 1000 miles.....

 

that was a cool video what happened to the site? i guess i thought all factory tachs were electronic

 

I guess the economy going south caused the advertising money to dry up....but DF started up a [new site, and he might have to get a day job.

 

Those electronic tach dirive distributors seem to be worth something these days. I bought a couple for $10 each a couple years ago from someone who didn't know that.

 

thank ya all again fer all the info!!!!!!!

 

Dug my old cast iron delco out last weekend that I converted to a pre-oiler
back in high school 30 some years ago.Still using it to prime engines,but you
made me look up the #. 1110987 2C26 traces back to 1962 327's (all).
The 57 chevy delivery I bought in high school came loaded to the gills with
all his spare stuff,and probably were it came from.
