I hope that Mikeg1955 doesn't mine my jumping in on his post...but my question is basically the same as his...

My 235 is from 1954 model year and I am trying to find a distributor solution for it. The one that came to me with the project is the older "short cap" style which I have been told is not a good choice for this engine.

I am trying to figure out if i should go with a used "tall cap" style distributor, a new replacement for the tall cap style, an inexpensive HEI from Speedway Motors or other vendor. (Dependability is more important on this project than originality of appearance to me.) If I go with the original style distributor, what is the source for Jon G's condensers?
