Re: problem to start

You can use '57 thru '62 Y-block car intake manifolds (272, 292 or 312) or '57 thru '64 Ford Y-block (292) truck intake manifolds.

Re: problem to start

Okay that is a '57 or later distributor with the correct points and condenser (although, I don't like that short condenser wire). Those cheaters can't give you an extra 1/4" of wire?
