If U convert it to Pertronix You have remove it and enlarge the Hole for the Retainer that comes on the Pertronix feed Wire. I had to do that on the 1957 Distributor I just installed on my Car recently.

  

It's on that auction site. A little spendy but it's there if somebody wants it.

I like the external primary wire connection arrangement w/ square stud and phenolic spacer.

Excellent find. A strib from a Lincoln Y 368 will work. Even the shaft is the correct length but you will need to precisely locate and pin a new Ford Y block gear on it. I needed a tack drive distributor for my truck and a 57 bird strib was out of the ball park on price. The 57 Mercury Turn Pike Cruiser with 368 was equipped with a tach..  This is one distributor that went under the radar but I had to remove the 15 tooth gear, (the Lincoln Y had a larger cam journal) and replace it with a 14 tooth gear for my 312 which has worked very well for several years now.  Hope this helps, JEFF.............

Here's one for the Lincoln Y Block. Would this style work? Certainly looks right... but.

The Seller listed it as a Ford 292 Distributor. If He had mentioned Y Block anywhere in the Listing it would have been gone quicker than I found it. The casting # on the Bowl identifies it as being produced in 1965 or After. I found several other sold Ones on the Internet with the same 1965 Casting Identification. They are for up to 1964 Ford Truck with Y Block. NOS Ford Service Parts. Nice to find a NOS One. I have a 390 Holley sitting in a Box that needs a rebuild. So now I have a Distributor also  for when i do another Conversion. Done 3 so far.   Forgot to mention- I asked If He was open to an Offer and He took $10.00 off the listed Price."Frosting on the Cake!".

  

That is a great find.

Found it. Nice score! You still suck Let me know if you want to sell it.

I can't get a Link.Even using the Listing # won't show on Ebay. If You search ford 292 Distributor and look at the "Solds" its there. 4th or 5th Listing.

  

"You" (as the kids say these days) "Suck!"

Gotta link? I looked for it a little while, couldn't find it. Just so I can get depressed and think what might have been.

Last night checked mechanical advance with a light, hooked the vacuum advance back up and took it for a highway spin. Seems to run better than ever. Think I can bump up the initial maybe a little bit from 10° or so and loosen the springs for a little more zip but it's pretty good right now.
