Thanx to everyone who wrote. Here's what I found out FWIW. Chrysler put a one-year only Prestolite distributor on the '58 B block 361/383's. In '59 they started using their own distributor. A rebuilt distributor for a '69 Chrysler 383 [$39] had about the same total advance curve and will accept the Pertronix electronic ignition. The car runs great, as good if not better than before. --Roger van Hoy, '55 DeSoto, '58 DeSoto, '42 DeSoto, '66 Plymouth, '81 Imperial, Washougal, WA -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 2003 Calendar voting results and ordering information is online!
