The 1949 or 1950 pressed bell will work but the 1953 is a different animal. I found the cast iron one first. The Isky 77 is a good mild cam and should work O.K. Go with the Bubba's GM dist with mech and vacuum advance with Bubba's curves. I'm using the MSD early distributor with reluctor and pickup and MSD 6A box. Changed the springs and limit bushing to have all in at 1500 rpm max adv at 18 degree to start with my msd does not have vac. adv. Holly 390 4 barrel. I do have the loadomatic with a pertronic module- The holly has both ported and manifold vac. but the cap on the ford dist. had solid wire and not compatible with the msd 6A box. The 8 mm spiral wire will work in the Ford dist but I already the msd dist all wired up so used it. My goal is to have a good driver that does not overheat (easy ?) The later pumps aftermarket circulate 25 percent more water then 59A pumps. I was going to go with skip's pumps but I need thermostats in the winter (too cold here) 36forguy
