66 425 hp Is it real?

[Rich P.]

Ok I know it does not have the partial grove on the bottom but I'm not positive all did. it has it's 093 tag dated 5 K 18. It was removed from an original 66 425 HP car 25 years ago. Regardless if it's a real BB dist. Whats it worth?? Customer sent it to me as part of a payment and I want to make sure he gets a fair real world price.

Thanks, Rich

One point that a potential buyer might notice; the magnet type is 2nd design, with the lips on each side of the 3 hold-down screws (see pic of early type [no lips] at right -- at least until late Feb 1968) versus later type.

Wayne, thanks for the info I was unaware of the magneto difference. I did know that the original magneto wires were different than laters (specifically the green tracer as opposed to a solid green wire).

Rich -- yes, the solid green (separate, not siamesed) wire must have begun sometime in mid-70s or even the '80s. See pic below of stationary pole pieces for '64-5 TI only [the difference is in the center plate sleeve] -- rare because of the part #. Magnets have the lips but wires still have green tracers. The type of packaging tells me that these are from the '70s. I have original K66 distribs with no lips as late as 9D14, and the earliest with lips is a 0J3 1112038 (w/the green tracer). I have another service 1111157 distrib 4K9 (1974) and it still has the tracer.

Isn't this fun ?
