This is a genuine Mopar New Old Stock (NOS) electronic ignition distributor, part number 4145717, proudly made in the USA. This high-performance dual-point style electronic unit is a critical component for the ignition system of vintage 1978-1983 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles equipped with the legendary 225 CID Slant 6 engine. It provides precise spark timing and the reliable electronic advance required for consistent engine performance and fuel efficiency in late-era Slant 6 applications. This unit is still preserved in its original Mopar box (which may be marked with the assembly number 4145718), representing the original factory manufacturing quality of the era. Please note that this distributor is sold as the housing and internal assembly only; the distributor cap is not included.

Actual Item Photos: Please look over the pictures carefully, as they depict the exact item you will receive. We utilize high-resolution photos of our current physical inventory rather than generic stock images so you can verify the specific condition, markings, and authenticity of this vintage part prior to purchase.
A Note on Fitment Accuracy: We manually research and cross-reference our fitment data using vintage manufacturer catalogs. While we strive for 100% accuracy, these decades-old resources—and the humans reading them—can occasionally contain errors. Additionally, these parts may fit other vehicles and years not explicitly listed in our data. To ensure a seamless restoration, we kindly ask that you perform your own due diligence and verify that this specific part number is correct for your application prior to purchase.
This is a high-quality vintage component. As with many New Old Stock (NOS) parts, the item and its packaging may exhibit minor "shelf wear" consistent with several decades of storage. This can include light surface oxidation, dust, or minor box deterioration, none of which affect the structural integrity or performance of the part. These components represent the original manufacturing quality of a bygone era, often far exceeding the standards of modern aftermarket replacements.
