Yep. 266-304-345-392 distributors will all interchange. I have even used a
Delco dizzy from a 152-196 in a V-8--just grab an eight lobed points cam
from a Chebby delco, and replace the four lobed one with it, and install a
cap with an appropriate number of holes in it! :-)

Along those lines--one of the funnier "Why in #$% won't this thing run
right??!!??" puzzles for a Vo-Tech class can be to put a six lobed point
cam (from, say a 292 Chebby I-6 Delco dizzy) into an otherwise eight
cylinder dizzy on a V-8!!! (Or the inverse of that.) Hehehehehe!
