Dual point distributor ID question

Yes, I just checked the 1966 FSM, and the specs are identical between it and the 2642242 which is what is listed for 1967 (and is in my 67 FB). But the # is listed for 1966.

So, why the different part number, is my question? Whatever...
In 1966, the 2642461 is for the distributor without the cap and rotor, whereas the 2642242 is complete with the cap and rotor. Sounds like it's a replacement.
