Parts taken off 69 L78 to get it running

Car sat for many years and these parts were replaced to get it running for sale.

I am going to put them back on.
Looks to be the factory installed stuff to me.

What say you?

Is the cap a no R type because the distributor is fairly early???

No but I can get one later today. What am I looking for?

Just see what kind shape the rotor button contact points look like. The rotor button looks good IMO.
That dab of purple paint on the dist. has got me thinking 🤔. It might be a factory inspector mark. Others may know something about it.
Been a long time since I’ve fooled with caps. There’s non R, R caps, non patent pending, patent pending and just AC DELCO. Different years for different lettering. Probably go to the CRG site and get that info.
The 499 distributor is definitely very cool 😎!!!
What’s the build date of the car?

The purple stripe was color ID for the engine plant. Many different colors used.

Thanks Kurt, I knew that had some significance. If it was mine I’d try to keep that mark when cleaning up the piece.
