Got a question about the 1959 RB 383 engine. Could any RB distributor be used with this engine?
Many thanks in advance

I don't see why not... counter clock wise rotation.

Yes sort of. Any 361/383 distributor will bolt in. 413/426/440 will work with an adapter spacer. Anyone got one to show a picture? Worth a 1000 words.

Yes.

 

[1wild&crazyguy]

Yes.

yes what?
yes a 440 distributor will work?

or yes a 383 distributor will work?

I figured tall block-tall deck distributor=350-413-426-440

I figured tall block-tall deck distributor= 413-426-440

The key here is the RB 383 for 58-61 only. 1wild&crazyguy is correct.
