Came with a 292 that was supposed to be out of a 1955 bird.  Had a 56 block and 57 heads.  Is this a 57 distributor?

Thanks

I think they did better 65 years ago then the Chinese do today..

It will be very interesting to learn what Ted finds once he gets one of these on his operating table.  If it has, as I suspect, a ball bearing instead of a sleeve bearing, there may be little or no axial float thus binding when clamped down. Often ball bearings have "some" interference fit. Curious to know if the strib has at least minimum .022" up & down shaft movement and what the distance of the gear installation is? It should be 4.991 to 4.996" bottom of gear to underside of the mounting flange with shaft pushed downward if I'm remembering correctly. If someone has one not installed,, a caliper would provide a good indication. The new strib may be made too precision and therefore not compatible with the manufacturing tolerances of the 50's. Just a thought...............
