Need some help decifering part numbers.
Running a late 70's 455 Oldsmobile (Packajet 455-4) with a single point Mallory Distributor and coil, but would like to swap out with one of the many electronic conversion kits, Petronix, Mallory, etc.
The tag on my Mallory Distributor reads V-501GV. The book does not list the distributor model, but lists a rotor number of 309, a cap of 209-B, a points set of 25042, and a condenser of 400. From The breakdowns I've found on the web, my guess is that it's either a YL or YT Marine Distributor. Unfortunately, the guys at Advance Auto, AutoZone, and Auto Value don't seem to have a clue what conversion kit I need, or what coil to swap over to.....
Any help.... Greatly appreciated...
