You're welcome Bill, I would assume so as I would think they would want to keep foreign matter out of the distributor. Every 927 I have had was complete with the tach drive parts and as I'm too young to have been playing with these cars when they were new I can only speculate.
You're right about it being too bad Chevrolet never offered a ball bearing distributor in a production piece , be it an aluminum housing or the cast version as these were rugged units. Would have been cool even if Chevrolet offered T.I. in the LS6 as when I spin one of these on my old Sun distributor tester, they are pretty impressive! No point scatter to worry about.

Actually, the magnetic pulse transistorized distributor set-up was standard equipment on an LS6; 1971.

Sorry Warren,
I wasn't even thinking about the 71 Corvette LS6 when I made my post. I tend to have 70 LS6 Chevelle on the brain. You are 100% correct.

-----Warren,,,Are you saying that 71 LS6 Corvettes had the ball-bearing distributer, or just that they had transistor ignition???......Bill S

71 LS-6 Corvette had a TI but not a ball bearing TI...#1112053 for the auto trans and 1112076 for the 4spd cars. The 1111263 ball bearing distributor never came on a car, it was an over the counter item and also (I believe) came with a ZL-1 crate motor. The original #263 had a reverse cam gear. Not to confuse anything but there was also a 1111465 TI available as a service replacement for the still born LS-7 Corvette motor....redvetracr
