When I bought this project truck, the owner told me the engine was running when the manifolds were taken off. I am in the process of rebuilding and just got to the distributor, but I am not sure it is correct for the engine. I don't want to screw up a freshly rebuilt engine so I would appreciate your help with this.
The dizzy is a Delco Remy Model - 1112353 with S/N - OC25

I THINK a 54/235 should have a 1112388...someone here posted a sheet showing the numbers for years 29-62. I printed it out but don't have a link to it. It may even be in the Tech Tips?

Also, Dave, the page at your link says I should have a "short cap", but the one I have appears normal. So I guess my question is, will this distributor work for a 235?

Chevrolet does say that a cast distributor gear can be used on a steel cam.
