blazin6969 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Ok, this is probably a stupid question but, I have a 56 dodge 230 we just rebuilt. I wanted to redo the distributor but I noticed that this distributor is from a 51 dodge. This is going into a 6v car are the parts interchangeable from says a 55 distributor? Just trying to source parts on rockauto and it didn't list anything for a 51 did but it did for a 55. 1AT-4011 (1343554) Unless someone else can recommend to buy some parts that would be great!

NiftyFifty Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Rockauto shows under 51 truck with 230 lots of parts that fit either IAT or IAY distb, so just order those parts, no idea what's in the 55 distributor, so don't use it as a search.

dpollo Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 You may wish to read the thread ( IAT distributors )in the other part of the forum (P15/D24) some of us have had issues with parts for the IAT and these are discussed fairly thoroughly there. So far as I know the 55 distributor's parts are compatible with the 51. There is a different style of rotor found in 55 and 6. None of these use the counterweight rotor and larger cap found pre mid-50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
