From 1935 to 1940, 13 different units were used, and just about every year or model had a different unit. There were also a few confusing years in the mid-Fifties when makes again had some specific distributors, but you will find that many Prestolite distributors will interchange between years and makes. Here are a few examples:

Eight-cylinder Prestolite distributors that interchange:
E. 1941-'48 Chrysler
F. 1946-'48 Dodge D24 and Plymouth P15
G. 1949-'50 Chrysler
H. 1951-'55 Chrysler and Imperial, except 300
I. 1953-'55 Dodge cars, 1955 Plymouth and 1954-'56 Dodge trucks
J. 1958-'65 Dodge, 1958-'61 De Soto, 1961-'65 Chrysler, 1963-'65 Imperial and Plymouth with single-point distributors
K. 1958-'61 De Soto and 1962-'65 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth with dual-point distributors Once Chrysler started manufacturing their own units, consistency was established across all makes, including trucks: L. 1960-'72 198 and 225 engines
M. 1962-'72 273, 318, 340 and 360 engines
N. 1961-'72 413, 426 or 440 engines (with Mopar distributor)
O. 1961-'72 361, 383 or 400 engines (with Mopar distributor) Taking this interchange one step further, you can also convert Mopar-equipped point distributors to newer electronic ignition distributors following these guidelines: L. 1960-'72 198 and 225 engines can use a distributor from a 1973-'80 225 engine.
M. 1962-'72 273, 318, 340 and 360 engines can use a 1973-'80 318 or 360 distributor.
N. 1961-'72 413, 426 or 440 engines (with Mopar distributor) can use a 1972-'78 440 distributor.
O. 1961-'72 361, 383 or 400 engines (with Mopar distributor) can use a 1972-'78 400 distributor. For the conversion, you would also have to add an electronic ignition control module and four-pole ballast resistor; however, this can be done easily and the cost involved is minimal. The efficiency of the electronics makes this conversion a popular choice among Mopar enthusiasts. This article originally appeared in the December, 2010 issue of Hemmings Motor News.
