I'm looking at this 426 Hemi distributor. part #2875327 the number doesn't come up in any books I have. he says it's a 1968 optional distributor. anybody ever see this number before?

There's no such thing as a 1968 "Optional" distributor. He's probably got an over the counter race or replacement piece he's trying to sell, they are pretty common.

I think he's looking at Galen's white book. It lists a:

'SPECIAL ORDER PARTS 2875255/ "LESS CAP & ROTOR" 2875327/ IBB-4401A 1968 426 HEMI BOTH (manual and automatic) A (body) TACH DR'

I've tried to accurately reproduce the listing but the original is a little jumbled.

If you can fund the transistor ignition control that goes with it they work real well,if not still works good.

Looks like a tack drive distributor for a 1968 super stock Dart or Baracuda to me.

So was the hemi distributor the same as the rest of the big blocks?

I've got the one that supposedly came with my 69 hemi...but I was told it was probably not unique from other big block distributors.

Thanks!

Actually,the only thing that makes it unique is the tag."If it is the original tag"

The vacuum advance unit and the centrifugal advance are both different and have unique stamped numbers on them.

The mechanical advance unit would require one from a real Hemi distributor or an NOS Hemi part.

Bill,
When did they change from a metal seal to an o-ring on the distributor housing?
