Has anyone else come across one of these?  The aluminum casting below the bowl area is triangular in shape.

A lot of re-mans are that style. I have one with C_0F, probably C90F.

yep - looks like this one?  Service part I think - built with later housing and advance mechanism.

The picture is the one.  There is always something new or unknown popping up .

So are the internal parts, advance mechanisms, and such, of the service replacement interchangeable with the later, say '59 to '64, Y-block distributors?

Charlie that is my question also.  Different centrifugal weights perhaps?  Havent taken it apart to see.

I read somewhere that the rebuilders have ran out of the older housings are using a mustang housings with Y-block specs, hence the C5, C9 number.  My rebuilt distributor has the same triangular base. 

Where is the least expensive place to buy a vacuum advance?

Want to see a distributor really odd?

What about a Wapsa?
