It was a FoMoCo distributor.

Are you looking for a dual point '57 Y-block distributor?

.

I am going to see a fellow who has a pile of 1950s y block parts and motors.I am just going to do some picking..I asked him if he had any distributors,and he kind of said yes when he said he had 5 y block motors.Both 292 and 312.they all had distributors,but he would not strip them.They were for sale,and I would have to buy them all. They were pretty cheap at only $350.00,but I really don,t need another motor sitting in the shop never mind 5.
However,if there is something interesting in the 5,well I may be made to pull the trigger..
But I understand he has a few barns and sheds,and I hope to see what's there.
I know what tach drive distributors to look for,and and some of the other goodys,but I was not informed on the duel points.
