Ole49GMC 'Bolter O Joined: Apr 2022 Posts: 9 New Ipswich	Thanks Dave! We have been able to verify that the GM part number, on the spare distributor, matches the part number on the list for the 1949 - 1950 (216) application. I guess we will have to remove the distributor that is in the 228 engine, verify the play, then compare this with the one for the 216 application. We really appreciate all you help!
