If there are no numbers on it it's going to be hard without pics. There are four possibilities, Autolite, Prestolite, Mallory, and Mercruiser. The numbers would be on a plate or stamped into the housing.

does your distributor have the screw down cap, if so let me know what conversion kit you ended up with and how it works.........

I have tried 3 so far from Parts store and they get me the wrong one every time.....from wrong part in correct box....to something totally non related.
