Rick,
Contrary to what all the books have said, there actually were a few '75
Spits that came from the factory with mechanical Distributiors and
Tachs. If your car also has a Mechanical tach, then the distributor
will be the same as that listed for the '74 Spit.
I know of 2 such cars and I am sure that there are more.
Regards,
Joe Curry
