Guys
Unlike many Ford owners, I want to return the Y Block engine in my 56 to the stock configuration.
I want to replace the Edlebrock carburetor with an original Teapot and find the correct Loadamatic distributor and any other necessary items.
Where do I begin my quest for the correct parts? Most notably the distributor and diaphram that's needed?
Thanks for any help
Jim

Since nothing's coming up here, you might check the Ford Barn. I think scicala does carbs, and there's a bubba's ignition. Might have something.

I have a 56 carb.  It was last run about a year ago and has been in clean storage since.  It should be a runner out of the box but I cannot guarantee that.  It always ran very well.  I found an original TBird carb so I swapped it.  Best if you email me.  $80.00 plus shipping.

I have a 1956 Thunderbird with the 312 and teapot carb with the dual vacuum advance set up. I am trying to switch it to the 1957 holley with the centrifical and vacuum advance set up. Any help would be great.
