What is this distributor?

[Detour]

I’m swapping out the manifold so I pulled the distributor yesterday and I’m rather confused. Truck is a 1967 K20 with a 1964 Impala motor. I was expecting an old points ignition, but realized I have something else. The coil is the round canister coil instead of the integrated on HEI. The cap has no wire connectors and there’s only one wire coming from the bottom of the distributor. Inside the distributor, there is no circuit board like an HEI And no points clean.

Looks like a stock points distributor to me. HEI was later and never came on 67-72 trucks

That just a regular points type distributor.

That set of points has the condenser installed directly to the points body.

Thanks. I'll take a closer look at it. I thought it was points distributor, but didn't see the contacts to inspect for cleaning. It's got some rust under the weights so I'll just pull it apart and inspect. Thanks for the help.

There was a condenser on the side of the coil. Does that mean I should eliminate the second exterior condenser?

If you rotate the distributor shaft you'll see the points open and close.

The one on the coil is to do away with the "audio tach" feature on your AM radio. Just kidding, it's the ignition noise suppressor.

Disassembled the distributor to clean things up and inspect. Definitely see the points now and they need to be replaced. They are all jagged like they had been stuck together at some point in the past and didn’t separate cleanly.

Haha, Yuccales I do know exactly what you mean on the AM stations.

Thanks again guys
