Dave,
I think you told us this before: is the an oil distributor on any/all/none of the 1953 235 engines (truck or car, including the 1953 Powerglide engine)?
3733949 is a 1955 (or, maybe/apparently a 1953-1955) casting code, did you know that is was used in 1953? If there was a 1954/55 version of that block, would you expect that the 1953 truck version of that block would have had an oil distributor?
Thanks,
