Thank you, Tom!  I had forgotten about the RB 383 of those  years.  A 
little confusing, but yes, there is both a low block and a raised  block 383.

Guys,  Don't forget about the "big block" 383 made from 59-61. They had 
4.06 bore and  3.75 stroke just like the RB blocks. 

Seems a lot of early 60's high  perf engines came with dual points.

Bill,

Welcome. Sounds like  someone swapped distributors somewhere along the line 
and you eneded up with a  better one! I assume it does not have a 
mechanical tach drive provision (a  place for a tach cable to screw into place). Not 
sure if there ever was a B  motor with a mechanical tach option??

Anyways, the distributor  might be from a later model 383HP like a Road 
Runner. I'd try a cap for a  '68-'70 383 Road Runner and see if it fits. 
There's probably some other trick  to determine but I'm in DFW right now passing 
through and this is the best I  can do.

Good luck,

Richard Osborne

an abundance of knowledge available from all  the members. I could sure use 
some of that to help me get started with my 300.  The car is in great shape 
body, chrome and interior wise coming out of  California for most of its 
life with 76,000 original miles and all the  original documentation. Needs some 
mechanicals which you have to expect given  its age. We're pretty sure its 
the original 383 with a 2 barrel but everyone  seems stumped by the fact 
that it has a dual point distributor. That has led  to a problem finding a 
replacement cap and rotor since none of the local parts  stores can tie a dual 
point to the 383. I would appreciate anyone shedding  some light on this. 
Could also use the specs for point gap, dwell angle,  timing, etc.
