Distributor Identification - Anyone recognize this?

[Mark D]

For those of you that have not been following my head gasket replacement saga, I took the opportunity to clean and detail most of the parts that where on my engine while I had the head torn off.

Last to come off was the distributor. In the process of brushing off 63 years of crud and gunk I noticed that the ID tag had been removed at some point long ago, only a stub of it remained.

Hoping a few of you might recognize the stampings on the bottom of the casting, ideally I'd like to order replacement guts. The casting stamps I beleive are marked as follows: "IDS" "1158" "4/21"

It looks to be identical to the one I have in my 48 plymouth.

My mistake, just checked my notes now that im down at the garage... It is IGS.

my manual says the IGS dist is 4207 b-1, part number 1308206 which was superceded by part number 1300795. Take those numbers and the dist when you buy parts. There are several different caps, rotors, and the points location which effects how they pivot is different among the distributors used through the years.

Thanks Greg, that'll get me in the right direction.
