The number, behind the distributor appears to be FI02bJ which doesn't really match up to anything unless I'm misreading the number. It really does not look like F1026J, which would translate to Flint, Michigan, October 26, Base Engine on CK, 10-20, C30. Picture here: Engine Number My truck is a '61 K10 with a 235.

The number on my 38 doesn't look like that so I can't help in that respect but it would not surprise me at all if F1026J is correct. If that is the correct number location & FI02bJ is jibberish it almost has to be correct.
