Identifying a Pontiac Distributor
Guy is selling a distributor that came off an 80s Pontiac. How do I tell if it's a Pontiac one and not a "corporate" engine (Olds or Chevy).

The chev dist is much longer, the Olds dist has a rubber oring on the housing. Do not have a pic handy but, perhaps someone else here does to compare

Last 80's Pontiac distributor was the 301 computer controlled, will not have vacuum or mechanical advance will have a 7 pin module. V6 Buick 3800 will also have a "O" ring on the housing will not have vacuum or mechanical advance . Will also have 6 teeth on the reluctor, V8 will have 8.
Stand by I am looking for photos.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
