Hello, my 46 1.5 ton has a Delco distributor# 1110224. Can someone help me identify this part and application? I have been told this is not original to the truck. When I placed a Pertronix Ignitor in two years ago I had to call Pertronix with the number to get the correct part. The current Ignitor inside is #2161N6

Thanks

I did a google search first and a 51 kaiser popped up on ebay.

the first link above shows 51-53 kaiser

who knows...napa and others sell remanufactured distributors. I guess anything can happen when they rebuild them

I'm curious is its the same as the model that went into the bolts but has a different part number because it was used by Kaiser? The pertronix kits do have different part numbers. When I called Chev's of 40's the operator couldn't identify what it was based on the Delco part number.
The Engine is a bit of a Frankenstein. The block shows as a 46 however I know the intake is from a 1950-1953 and uses that model of Rochester.

Typically the only differenes were in the location of the wire terminal,
grease fitting location and the springs are probably different
giving it the correct curve for the Kaiser 6cyl. L-head engine.
I am suprised the cam gear is the same.

Thanks for the info everyone as I am not a Distro expert. One thing that is great about this site, I rewired by 46 Bolt in the driveway with 10 & 14 gauge wire from spools and loom I already had. Took me about four hours going slow, no hurry. I did switch to a 6V Alt from Carters. I used the same Chevy diagram to self install the wiring on my Willys CJ2A.

I recently converted one truck to 12V and upgraded the pertronix. Upon buying a second truck recently which does have a Gm numbered Delco distro, I installed the 6V Pertronix numbered for the Kaiser Distro and it purs like a kitten!
