Thanks for all the help guys. I did some digging on my own and found this
web site:
http://www.ebay.com/gds/HEI-Ignitions-A-primer-/10000000002053885/g.html
Half way down on the article it talks about the colors of the coil and pick
up coil.
If my brother got an Olds Toronado 455 engine with the starter on the right
(passenger) side than this distributor will work for him. Brother has been
an Olds fan for years, so I am sure he is all aware of this. I didn't.
I could not cross reference the distributor # anywhere on the web. 1103346
9E 2
