I'll bet a clever person could make that cap fit.

Isn't that just for the front mounted flathead engines?

Mallory has a crab cap that is a lot shorter.

Well, the Mallory distributor isn't going to work. It's just as tall as the 57-62 Ford distributor which doesn't quite clear the intake plenum. I guess we are forced to use the stock 368 dual diaphragm (never knew there was a G in that word). Now I have two vacuum advance lines to run into 8 single throated carbs. Figure that one out!
FYI the height difference is in the base of the distributor where the points are, not the cap. Diameters of all three are almost the same.

Nice collection! 

I have a few more

Thanks Cliff, should clean up nice.

387 A is a Y Block marine distributor, if that's what you want E Mail me $100.00 plus shipping (this is a dirty used part)

Just purchased a 57-63 Ford Distributor with combo mechanical and vacuum advance. Should do the trick.
