Well, yes, I blew that off.
It would be correct to say either; The load-o-matic distributor is the same from the bowl up on '54-56 Y-blocks (in fact the only difference at all is the '54 has different camshaft mating gear), or, you could say; the mechanical advance distributors are all EXACTLY the same on all '57-64 Y-blocks (except the T-Bird has provision for mechanical tachometer).
The latter statement would have been more relevant for this thread.
