890 distributor

[Kevin M.]

I'm looking for a 890 distributor (date april or early may 58) for my 1958 230 hp. was the 890 distributor used on passenger cars as well as Corvettes and how would i identify a Corvette distributor?

Re: 890 distributor

1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 4bbl also used a 1110890 distributor

There is an example of such a distributor here http://www.ebay.ie/itm/1958-CORVETTE...item58ab0096d0

It has the hexagonal style vacuum advance (w Delco Remy logo) used on 1958 230HP engines + metal vacuum line with fitting and oiler tube with GITS cap.

Re: 890 distributor

Was there any differences between the two distributors?

Re: 890 distributor

Apart from the tag with another date, I can't see any difference. But not for sure.

A GM part number defines a specification for a part. So, if the part number is the same, it does not matter which application a particular component was originally installed in.
