Jim,
My housing is a reproduction one that is made of solid brass so it wont rust like the stamped sheet metal ones. It is made by one of the local PI chapters. But that aside, the nubs are the same. I went out to the garage and found my original one. You can still see the nubs on it. They are inline with the housing mounting ears. Any 288/327 from 1951-1954 will use this same housing. My 327 actually has a 288 head on it for a bump in compression.
