Just FYI... the cap, rotor and misc tuneup parts from '55/'56 distributors aren't the same as the later distributors.
If you keep an eye out for a usable '57+ tach drive distributor you can use your oem tachometer again.
In addition to the '57 T-Birds some y-block powered Ford trucks from '57 thru the early 60's had an in-dash tach with a tach drive distributor that might work for you.
There used to be a Mallory y-block tach drive distributor (part # 3838701) but it was discontinued.

Maybe you can find a good used one?
