Box of stuff, previous owner

Received this box of stuff from the previous owner. Inside was this distributer marked CARDONE REMANUFACTURED. One, is it a 350 Oldsmobile distributer?? I have nothing to go by because the current one has an HEI in it. This one looks quite a bit shorter than the HEI. All you wonderful pro's out there help me out is this a Olds 350 distributer and the brand good, bad, no difference as long as it works? Opinions please. Of note, the camshaft gear shadt is 6 sided as shown in the third pic.

Hard to tell if it's a "350" distributor without looking up the number stamped on the body and correlating that to the original application.

An Oldsmobile distributor will basically fit into any second generation Oldsmobile engine - 260, 307, 330, 350, 400, 403, 425, 455.

In your first picture there's a number stamped onto the side of the distributor housing - starts with 1111 but can't make out the rest. Post that and I'll see if it's in the parts manual.

All that is visible on the distributer is the four 1111 rest of numbers unrecognizable.

They probably removed the numbers when it went through Cardone's process.
