The 411 distributor is the same except for the lower shaft length. The 411 shaft is considerably shorter because the engine mounting pedestal for the dizzy is much shorter since it does not incorporate a tach drive. 

That's your trivia for the day.

Sid,

I never knew the 411s had a different distributor? I guess the next time up to the race barn I should take a better look at that motor we got from Bob. 

I'm still thinking that a RL411 should be my next project.

hi sidney, thanks for the reply. what you say makes sense.

8-10 years ago i bought a 2000 from this lady (who i got the parts from), which had a 1600 in it, and the 2 liter in a"basket". i rebuilt the 2 liter engine and eventually sold the 1600 eng. to paul's friend, jim sloan. i noticed that the intake on the 1600 was angled differently, and the sloans(or paul cort) told me the intake was from a rl 411, sss 1600.

 
thanks again, bob smith, ohio

Hi Bob,

That looks to me to be a RL411 distributor for an R16 engine.

Hi,

I am on the digest version, so I am out of date, but you asked for an id on a distributor. Can you send me photos? The list server strips them. Maybe I can help.
