Default Need help identifying some distributors

Hi all, I’m going through my parts boxes and found three distributors. One is cast iron so it must be off a mid 60’s or earlier car I think. Part numbers are:

1111105 date code 9g16
1111169 date code 3j6
Cast iron distro 1111078 date code 5b22

Any help would be appreciated.

Distributor # Search



Might re-check the # on the 1111169 dist.
I don't show anything, but I probably don't have every #.
Date code suggests a 1974 model vehicle.

Thanks guys. On the site now. First one is for a YH code 455, second is a mystery, and third is for 65-66 cars.

I read here, years ago that Pontiac distributors changed over from Iron to aluminum in mid 1966. Aluminum was easier on the molds than iron was.
I think Tom V. Posted on this subject...

1111169 date code 3j6.
