Default 59ab & 8ba

I'm relatively new to v8 flatheads having got my 36 woodie last just January after owning Model As for a few years. It has a 37 21 stud engine in it which doesn't bother me because of the insert bearings and better cooling water pumps. I'm just curious about the 59AB & 8BA and know only that the 59AB is 24 studs.

What year Fords did these come from and what are the advantages to each? When did the front mounted distributor go away?
