I have a mostly original 1969 Oldsmobile 442 including Original Point & Condenser Distributor that I want to change over to electronic. I'm thinking Pertronix Ignition Conversion Kit. I need to know what distributor the car has in it. How would I identify what brand it is? It is out of the car, and I don't see any names or stamps. There are some numbers, I don't have any pictures of it yet as I want to clean it up and make it legible. What do I look for? Thank you for any help

 

For what it is worth, those point type DelcoRemy distributors are very good. They can be converted to electronic but there is as much to lose as there is to gain by converting.

A conversion kit for any V8 Delco Remy from 57? -74 should work. The Pertronix will need full battery voltage, the Delco Remy uses battery voltage to start and about 9 volts to keep the car running

 

I was able to clean it up a bit & take some pictures. Maybe someone could figure out the numbers. Thanks for any help.

 

Sure looks like it has points to me.

 

1111933 8H9 ? Look correct?

 

Yes that is correct. Now to find if it's Delco or something else. I'm assuming Oldsmobile Factory used Delco for their distributors back in 1969?

 

1111933 is 1968-69 442 (non-W30) with AT, 1968 H/O, 1969 W32, and 1969 Vista with 400 motor.

 

It is Delco.

 

Thank you guys, for your responses
