corvette distributor fuellie

[don sota]

I have a corvette f/i distributor. I would like to know what it was meant to fit. the numbers on the tag are 1110906 7 L 18. the tag looks like it has the original rivets. its a tach drive unit, no external points adjustment and has dual points. I have looked on the net and it says the 1110906 distributor was used on early 57 corvettes without a tach drive. this is definately a tach drive unit and the date code looks like it was made 18th nov 57. which looks like it would have been fitted to a 58 fuellie. but the only number ref. I can find on the 1110906 says early 57 fuelie vettes, with no tach drive.. I thought the top housing might have been changed but the date code on the tag says it probably for a early 58. sounds contradicting. let me know what you can come up with. worst thing is I have a 57 fuellie and a 59 fuelie. and if it is for a 58 fuelie, well I guess I have to decide to keep it or not. anyways any help would be breatly appreciated. thanks don

Re: corvette distributor fuellie

when you say its a tack drive, does it have two cross shafts with housings to attach a cable assembly? mike

906 is a tach drive distributor. it has one connector to drive the fi unit and one to drive the tach. it is for the 250 hp with auto. want to sell it?

Re: corvette distributor fuellie

The 906 distributor is a single point set configuration with vacuum advance. The drive is for the high pressure pump which is in the fuel meter assembly.
The 905 is a dual point unit and does not utilize a vacuum advance.

Re: corvette distributor fuellie

thanks for all your responces. appreciated. IT sounds like a 57 dist. but the date code says it was built nov 57. so I presumed it was for a 58. I already have a 57 vette with dual quads, and its incorrect for my 59 fuellie, so saying that, I would sell it for the right money. I have had it for a few years now, so if you know someone who needs or wants it let me know otherwise I will list it on ebay in a few weeks time. thanks don

Re: corvette distributor fuellie

check the distrib again and see if its a 908 instead of a 906.mike

Re: corvette distributor fuellie

908 is totaly different. no vac advance. 908's were built in that time frame. they fit a few 57's with column mount tach and 58's
