distributor decoding

[King_Cobra]

I have a HEI distributor. But I am not sure what it is out of can any one decode the numbers off it?
three straight vertival lines then 0696
7J14
on the shaft is 26
then AA
it has Vacuum advance

7J14 is a date code

7 = year ending in a 7, 77 or 87?
J = month built - Sept
14 = day built in Sept

The rest I have no idea. If you cannot find more numbers then I can't be of more help. The interchange has 1000's of distrubutor numbers and the page thru look for 4 of probably eight total digits is a chore.

Are you sure its a GM part?
6 or 8 cylinder dist?

here's what I find the has the 0696, they often only put the last 4 digits of a part nubmer on the part.

1110696 1978 Malibu 200 6 cylinder

I can find no others that are even close but my interchange on goes to early 80's so anything after 1980 is not to well covered in my version.
