Distributor ID. ?

What year and Y-Block did this distributor come in ? I found it in a box of parts i bought at a swap meet. I have it in a 63 i think 292 pickup truck engine Numbers and letters on it are -----COTE ----12127-----B . then lower down it is stamped --OFB . I need a couple of other parts before i try to start it and was wondering what year this dist. was for .

COT would be 1960 truck, not sure about the E. 12127 means distributor, all distributors have that number. B is a revision number
