Clarification for 72' T/A Distributor Part Numbers
I am a bit confused over what is the correct distributor part number for my 1972 TA. I have an automatic transmission. I was of the understanding that the 72 TA came with an optional unitized distributor (P/N 1112133). Is this a true fact? If so, what is the 'standard' distributor part number without this option? My build sheet does not call out the 634 sales code.
Please help clarify since it is not obvious in the 72 service manual and I can't seem to find literature that clarifies this information. Thanks in advance. |

In 1972 the Trans Am is the only 455 HO equipped vehicle to come with a points distributor as standard. P/N used is 1112126.
The unitized distributor #1112133 was a mandatory option on 455 HO equipped A-body and Firebird Formula.

As far as I know all 72 455-HO had unitized ign only, good luck locating these parts.

Formulabruce,
That's why the Pontiac Craftsman Service News is handy. They usually have the corrections and other tid-bits.

I checked the block again to be sure. The block is a YE code and matching number. I bought the car from the original owner, have the paperwork right down to the purchase docs he signed when he took delivery of it in Feb 1972, Protecto Plate and PHS docs. Car was built 2nd week Dec 1971. My PHS docs don't mention the unitized distributor option but the car is a YE code block. Has anyone heard of a situation where it was not called out on the build sheet but in fact came with the unitized distributor. I suppose with GM, anything is possible.

The 72 455 HO engine codes for the unitized distributor were YB for the automatic and WM manual transmission. The points distributor codes were YE and WD. Your TA is correct with a YE block and a points distributor. The points distributor number is 1112126. njsteve has the automatic codes reversed in his post. |

I have one that is very nice, still has the purple paint stripe on it from the factory. I pulled it from a '72 back in about '82 when the car had around 50K miles on it.

Thanks for the info Chris. It definitely is a one of a kind piece with the post-UAW strike date code.
