What you have is a 57/59 DIST and the service parts are getting hard to come by. But this was the better of designs as it allowed a more stable dwell. There were four generations of the FYB DUALING ADVANCE DIST. If I was doing what you are doing, I would try and fine one from a 63/64 292 truck engine. Much easier to restore (parts) and make modifications (IMO).

Interesting. Learn something new every day. I thought there was just one change from the '56 & older loadamatic style to the later '57-up with the mechanical advance.
I'd like to try and fix this one, but can feel some side-to-side play in the shaft.
Can you provide any details on the '63—'64 strib? Like what to look for or any identifying features?
Thanks
