I don't recognize the p/n
Original dual point would have tag with an IBS # as well as the Chrysler p/n which is 7 digits.
We can look up the original numbers in the FSM but maybe that's not an original distributor??

Good websearch!

Typical Cardone replacement - one size fits most.
What I mean by that is the parts will physically fit (usually) and work. However the mechanical and vacuum advances are unknown and they won't disclose. They beleive whatever the advances are will be close enough that the car will run OK.

4 barrel or six pack motor?
Six pack motors use dual point cast iron distributor with vacuum advance, 4 barrel motors use aluminum distributors with single points and the weird looking vacuum advance with dual wire feeds to the advance unit, probably for smog reasons puke scope

Is this a number matching thing or just getting a distributor to work? If you have the aluminum Chrysler distributor with points or electronic you just need any Big Block(CCW rotating) vacuum advance with a 9-11 stamp on the distributor. Could be lower too.

If you have the original distributor with retard function that would be different. A picture of the distributor with cap off to see the breaker plate would help get you the correct advice.
