Distributor ID

[Chief1500]

I have a DM2 (40735A) distributor in my '78 spit 1500, which doesn't look like original equipment. I've see references to this distributor in later model TR4's. Can anyone tell me which model/year this distributor is from?

Thanks,

Here's the entire cross-reference (looks like early TR4)...

Marcel's web page moved, the new cross reference is at

He notes that there are errors in his database, but I have a Lucas catalog that also lists 40375 for late TR3 and early TR4 (with 86mm bore).

Regardless of what the original application, the DM2 was certainly from an earlier era. Look on the body of the dizzy near the model number you found. Look for a 3 or 4 digit stamped number. This will be the week and year of manufacture.

Has two numbers stamped on it - V206 and 862. Looks like a Feb '62 model.

Thanks for all the advice
