1111006 dist.
the 1111006 was used for a short time in the last haft of the 1962 production run. it is really the first design of the 1111023

The 1963 Chevrolet parts book says that the 1111006 fits 1961 and 1962 348/409 with vacumn advance and single points. It shows the 1111023 to fit 1963 409 with vacumn advance and single points.

steve d no i don't know the differance between the 006 and the 023. i do know the 006 was chevy's first attempt of using a single point vacuum advance dist. on a h.p.409. bobs409 the 006 is in my chiltons repair manual 1954-1963 as a 1962 part.it's in the 32nd edition of the hollander book as a 409 part. it's in alan colvin's book (chevrolet by the numbers) as a 1962 409 part but he did not verify it.in the book by larry davis(drag racing the family sedan) there is a picture of dave stricker's 1962 409 engine with a vacuum advance dist. in it on page 39. i believe this picture was taken in 1962. chevymuscle, your 1963 chevy parts book is right. the 1964 chevy parts book shows the 1111006 as being taken out of service and replaced by 1111023 on october 1963.

Wow, it's amazing what you can learn here. Gearhead, I remember you and your buddy from the convention but I never noticed your signature.
"gearhead409 1923 t-bucket blown 409 (481 stroker)"
Are you sure a little 481 with a blower is enough power for a huge car like that?
bang bang

yes jimmie and i was at the covention with his black 63 belair named "BUSTOUT". boy did we have a good time ! i have had my t-bucket a long time,it has always had a 409 in it. it was featured oct. 1980 in hot rod magazine,(i think that was the right issue) that was the best trophy i ever got with this car. yes this new engine is a handful. kind of makes me think when i'am setting at a trafic light,looking out over those two afb carbs and wondering if the throttle return springs would ever break,could i get this thing shut off before it kills me.

That's good enough for me then, I'll add it to our list. I looked in the Chevrolet by the numbers book but I was looking in the chart and it wasn't listed. I see he does mention it at the bottom in the notes section. He says it was never produced but that is obviously incorrect.

i was thinking if anyone would like to see a picture of my old t-bucket they can find it in my e-bay profile. go to the e-bay home page. click on feedback forum. then type in gearhead409 and click on find member. then click on the 'me' of the member profile and you will see gearhead and his favorite 409. my brother-in-law put this picture on e-bay for me as i don't have a digital camera. enjoy ha ha

Great guy!
I had the pleasure of joiining Gearhead and Jimmie, along with several others (BJburnout TmO, Jim_SS409) at the dinner table that Friday night of the Convention. I believe he passed a pic of the vehicle around. Nice! And if I recall correctly, Gearhead has more '62 Chevies and 409 engines than you can shake a stick at
You might notice that while Gearhead has but a few posts (single digits) I bet he's read EVERY post collectively made by you guys! I referred to these types of fellas as "lurkers" (in the positive sense) who are really into the 409 scene (and have been for years) but who rarely post to this Forum. Glad to see that this has begun to change! We respect all of those who both read and contribute to this Forum! See what impact you have on people's lives, Bob?
Cheers!
