I recently acquired an 88 GT wit a Caddy 4.5 already in it. Shortly after doing that, I started looking around at what is out there for it. Cadillac used variations of that engine in quite a few cars so there should be a decent or a at least rebuildable distributor in a salvage yard near you.... Seville, El Dorado, Deville etc...
There are a lot of parts that will not cross fit, but I would think you should be able to find a workable distributor in most variations. That is off of the top of my head though, so you may want to do more research...
My 4500 came from a 88 Seville
. They started making the 4900 in 89 if that helps.
Also if you can get the numbers off of the block, you should be able to search out what your engine came out of, Year, Make and Model.
I hope there is at least something in there that helps...
