Jerry, you've posted previously about incompatibility between distributor gears and steel vs. cast camshafts. Any idea whether this distributor would be usable with a steel cam? It does say 53-62 engines, which I recall would have cast cams. I know it shouldn't be too hard to change the distributor gear, but would it be necessary?
That gear is made out of recycled beer cans and gummy bears. Universally compatible.
