Distributor question

How can I tell the difference between a Bosch and a Marelli distributor without pulling it out of the engine? My car is a 72T. The number on the distributor is 030.

The Marelli has a much "taller" cap. Look at the attached pictures of Marelli distributors and compare them to yours.





Hope this helps

Yup, mine is a Bosch then. Now I can order the correct Ignitor for it. Tired of points. Thanks for everything.

No, they are from Ebay. I saw them today looking around Ebay and when I saw this post, I figured a picture was worth a thousand words!
