Here's a photo of the bottom end of a '54 distributor shaft. Showing the flat 'tang' that engages a slot in the oil pump drive shaft, and 13 teeth on the cam driven gear. A held-over design from the flathead I'd guess.
The later Y-block distributors thru '64 have a hex socket drive and 14 teeth on the gear.
