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:

Can you share some pics of your pypes exhaust?

Oh, and my 15 year old mufflers sound like somebody put some marbles in them. Must be from all the "testing" I've been doing lately. Looks like a Pypes exhaust is coming for X-mas.
