Post Re: 55 272 Distributor

The B5S is a little expensive.

You should be able to use an FAB 12370-A with no problems. The B5S was used for HP engine (FYB LOM 1955) and the FAB 12370-A for STD engines (1954-56). They both...

Thumbs up Re: 55 272 Distributor

There you go, you're learning. Hard to say what has happened since 1955.

For example-

The 1955 TRUCK 239/256 used one diaphram assy while the 1956 272 used another. It seems many 55's received a 272 upgrade.

Take the dist cap off and supply 7HG to the vacuum advance canister. See if it holds that value.

If it does vary the vacuum signal and see if the breaker plate moves freely.
