Re: NASCAR 1957 Ford
FWIW. There were aftermarket breaker plates you could buy that converted your 57 distributor to dual points. Had one in my 57 until I switch it all to DuraSpark.

Re: Changing Intakes and Carb
Back in the day the aftermarket used to sell a kit to convert your 4100 from vacuum to mechanical secondaries. It was just a metal piece that you installed on the choke side of the carb. It worked...

Re: Autolite 1100 replacement for 1964 170 I6

Re: '65 T-Bird fuel pump
There's a special socket made to remove the canister on that pump. I have one somewhere. Haven't used it in 25 years.
