Hi Bob, all I can find is part #1110090 changed to #1112353 on 7-1-50. When I tried to find the #1112353 my parts book said removed from service. It would be interesting to know what it was used in.

Hi Bob, it seems that the number 1110090 is a 216 distributor from 1940 to 48 and the 1112353 distributor is 1950 to 52. I found another distributor on EBay with the same insulation on the plate as your distributor.

Never heard of a polarity reversing switch on a CMP but engine in CMP frame was not original 216.......

Thanks guys.

1941-1942 Chevrolet 216. Those years had a reversing switch that changed polarity to the points each time the starter foot pedal was activated. The theory was to prolong point life. After frequent failures the switch was bypassed with a dedicated ground to the plate terminal. Note that points with a different part number are used in that distributor. 7L2 is probably the date code. December (L) 7, 1942

Probably civilian market for specialized application such as a standby unit or other static application where the engine may not have been started often.....but it does fit on a 216 engine block.....

I think that I have one of the CMP fuel pumps with metal rather than glass fuel bowl (either at home or the barn) but it definitely doesn't have a priming lever.

The WW2 GMC CCKW pump has a hand primer and metal bowl, it will fit a Chev 216. But looking on-line, rebuild kits are no longer available and NAPA sells a replacement pump . Part No. AC-429 - no hand primer though.

My C8 has the original 216 engine, I fitted a GMC CCKW fuel pump with a hand primer and metal bowl, I bought the CCKW pump NOS many years ago from Auto Surplus in Mitcham . Holden ( local GM car ) Red motor fuel pump kits might fit the earlier GM AC pumps, being AC brand. Side by side , a Holden fuel pump looks to be identical to a older Chev pump.

You need to find kits that are suitable for modern fuel.

New CCKW pump from the Netherlands.
