Thanks for the previous info on the 216-261 distributors. Got looking further into the boxes of parts that came with the 261's I acquired. Found some distributors with a different cap than a 49- 216 truck and 41- 216 car. The plate that the points attach to has a model # 1112403 - 5E11 stamped on it. Does anyone have a 261 distibutor or a parts book that lists this number as a 261 ?
The engine I have rebuilt is a 1959 with the full oil pressure fittings.
