I have 2 distributors 1 has a ID tag 2875772 ibs 4014B , the other has no ID tag, but is 98 % the same, the only difference is it does not have the O ring grove at the base that fit into the engine block. Would that be an earlier year, both have the 69 vac advance style? see pics Thanks

Looks like its a Job rated distributor? for a 318 Poly. 65/66 Check this one in this link. Yours is an Autolite.

I was wondering which ones have the o-ring also. And I figured the o-ringed ones didn't use the gasket but I have no idea if that is true.
 
Yes the 440 4 speed is a 69 dual point setup, both distributors are dual point and the shaft length is the same, both have IB21castedin the bottom and 2 holed next to the casting
 
Are there any way to tell if its a 1968 dual point and what engine it would be for?
 
Non O ring that used a metal gasket usually pre 68, no way to tell till you take it apart and tell the part numbers and clocking.
