I am led to believe that the motor used a duel point distributor.
Would anyone know if it was a Mallory, Autolite,or Fomoco ,and what the number was ?
I believe it was early or midway in the '57 season when NASCAR banned super chargers, fuel injection and multiple carburetors. The rule was a single 4 barrel carb after that until fuel injection became mandatory in the 2000's.
