The little cars of the early 60s had similar designs for a lot of this stuff. If it's already a resto-mod then just find matching stuff that can be made to work. Falcon, Mustang, Fairlane, Meteor, or Comet stuff is all similar in ways.

Neighbor gave up on this Falcon. V8-5spd, new wheels/tires 5lug hubs/rear end. New green paint. Can not find little plastic circle clips for trim? Needs interior work. Newc

not a bad little car, buy if it were mine I would lose that chev. HEI style of dist. don't get me wrong they work great, but to me they look way out of place in a Ford, a little on the ugly side to me, but that is just my opinion. I am just glad that these cars are being saved

The distributor does look disproportionately large, but the camera might exaggerate it. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. However, if the car is parked on level ground in the photos, I would raise the front. Personally, I think raising the front would look better than dropping the rear.
