Distributor adapter - part numbers
I'm looking in my parts and illustration guide to locate a replacement blue adapter for my '82. My original one which I don't know if I still have but I had to take it off as the plastic was broken and would move around on the dist in a twisting motion.
So I got the part numbers and I decided to look them up on ebay but no luck on finding actually photos.
First one is listed as 80/ without EEC but its said in the notes its gray the part number is E2ZZ-12A217-B. Another one which is listed as 82 with EEC is listed in the notes as being blue (only blue listed in notes) and its part number is D9AZ-12A217-A.
The first number brought a NOS hit of them but their photo is just simply a photo of the blue oval not of the actual parts. The second part number listed for EEC comes back as gray on ebay and they are new production by places like Dorman.
So I am asking am I not looking at something right? I hate to have to tear the garage up to try and find the adapter if I even still have it just to get the number off it.

My guess would be the D9 part would be appropriate for a non-EEC distributor, the EEC variants started in California in 1980 and would have an E*** prefix.
But this kind of thing can be purchased at a local auto parts store, there aren't that many variations of the thing.
