Hi All - I 'found' this distributor in my parts and with just a brief check of the numbers, it appears that it is not usable in our 1974, 455 motor. Is this correct??
Thanks

Which distributor is it? A lot of what determines which one can be used is California type emissions requirements.
Wait, I just saw you DO live in California. Sorry. If that distributor didn't come in the year vehicle you want to install it in it is my understanding you will be in violation of the law for making an environmental, earth destroying modification to the motorhome that still is cleaner than a 2 stroke weed eater.

Sir: the 6 (1976) B (Feb) 17 (th day) is the build date of the dist. 1103210 should be an HEI dist with the coil in the cap for a car as Cardone crosses. Your 74 should be points and the HEI is a very good upgrade. I think a 74 is exempt from Calif emissions so you can modify.

All you got to do is change out the resistor wire or what most do is leave it in place and run a new switched hot to it and top dead center and whack it in!

It needs to have been built before 1976, so even some 1976 coaches are
California smog exempt.
Plato seems wrong to me today.
