will it work on my 54 235?
my interchange manual says it should be a 1112388 dist and it doesn't even list a 1112353. it's an ac delco.

At least check this out. I wouldn't use it as points may be more difficult to find than later type dist. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 872 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 872 | The issue is the camshafts... cast iron or steel. The steel will be much harder and will chew up cast iron gears. HERE IS A LINK TO ID THE CAM AND DIZZY | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 306 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 306 | ok

They do not come with a grease cup or data plate... other than that for $60 (less if you get the coupons) I would just buy a new one and not worry about gears or worn parts. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 306 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 306 |

It came with vac advanced and the grease cup ...pic... If your new one comes with an o ring as in that pic, remove it. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 306 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 306 | Thanks guys

I don't know if there are any rebuild kits out there... but springs do wear out and the weight holes can become worn if not lubed... all minor issues.... but that's what causes poor performance.. your timing not being in, well, time. | | |
