Re: Y block distributor
The 55 distributor used a hex drive. You are better off with late model distributor not 57. The 57 had a plate supported on bearings with a straight arm on the vacuum canister. These are a good distributor but the advance mechanism is hard and costly to replace. You also cannot convert these distributors to pertronix or accell electronics as these units foul the vacuum canister arm. The distributor you want is for 59-64.
We are all presuming you are using a later Holley and manifold or adaptor.
