1963 292 y block F700 distributor setup
Hi guys , I am rebuilding a 1963 292 Y block with the original cast iron distributor to fit into F700, what I want to know is where the 2 pipe connections on the dissy are plumed to ? The upper one looks to take a rubber hose and the lower one looks to have a compression fitting like a brake line . This dissy is NOS and without a Vac advance, oem FoMoCo unit . other than the mechanical weights there is nothing else under the point plate . any help would be great . jus hope I am not wasting my time and $ on this .Please email me at [email protected] if you have any photos or printed info .
cheers Robin |

It sounds like you have a distributor for a governor.

Re: 1963 292 y block F700 distributor setup
Not sure I've ever seen an F700, and yes it may have a speed/rpm governor setup on it.
Is there an overwhelming reason you're wanting to keep & use the nos distributor you have for it? Some of the info you provided seems contradictory. It has two vacuum lines but no vacuum controlled timing advance ?? Sight unseen makes it more difficult to be certain but, the rubber line probably goes to a ported fitting on the carb and the steel line likely goes to the intake manifold. If you can post a couple photos of it someone might recognize it. My 2¢ worth... for better performance (in an F700 truck? ) you could remove the assumed 'governor' function by using the distributor from most any '60 to '64 y-block powered car or light truck. It will only have one hose fitting to the carburetor. And there may also be 'governor' associated parts on the carburetor. . Last edited by dmsfrr; 12-20-2016 at 04:46 PM. |

I have two '59 Ford F100's with 292's that I have converted to PCV's.

Re: 1963 292 y block F700 distributor setup
Hi guys thanks for the replys , just looking for resto info on the Y blocks fitted to F700. My father inlaw wanted the governor to work on this truck for reasons unknown to me so any help would be great . I assume he drove the wheels off one of these in his day delivering timber until it caught fire and nearly took him with it . any help would be good , performance is not an issue but originality is.

Re: 1963 292 y block F700 distributor setup
I don't think that a governor was a standard application on mid-duty trucks. I had several of them, '59-65 in my business. I have gathered up several '54-66 F-100 through F-600 that I have up on the farm in Montana.
Here in the States I don't recall ever seeing an F-700 with a Y-block, usually a Lincoln V8 would be the common F700 engine. In a HD application a Y-block would leave a lot to be desired, where-as the Lincoln V8 has more torque and is "gas cooled"..

Robin, I did some research online to try to help you out about the two lines, but no luck. Wouldn't it be nice if there were only helpful replies here ? It would be nice if someone actually had an F700 to look at.

Re: 1963 292 y block F700 distributor setup
The 292 was the base motor up into '64 in trucks up to F700, then used big block 352.
Governors were an option. I drove a brand '64 F700 straight truck hauling mail back then. You apparently the dist. type with the governor within it. Motors truck Manual's of the period cover it. Last edited by scrapiron; 12-20-2016 at 04:17 PM. |
