Well he said it fits a 303-455. Yeah-ok. The seller should find out what he has before asking $750 for it!

I suspect the seller meant to type "330-455", since that mag will fit all 1964-1990 second gen Olds V8s. Here's the mag in the ad:



Here's a mag for a first gen Olds V8 - note the difference in the housing where it goes into the block (actually, this isn't a real mag but an electronic distributor inside a case that looks like a mag, thus the two wires coming out of it):



FYI, here's a normal second gen Olds distributor. Compare the housing where it goes into the block to that of the first photo above:



The mag in the CL ad is like the ones used on the Hurst Hairy Olds and are long out of production. It's worth every bit of $750.
