I need a distributor for a ‘55 Ford 600. I ordered one from Yesterday’s Tractor and after I had it in hand I realized it fits the ’58 and later tractors. The shaft is longer by roughly an 1/8 inch. I haven’t found anyone who sells a replacement for the FAA-12176-A distributor, or the parts to rebuild the original.
Can this be adapted for use in the early 600’s by simply shortening the oil pump drive shaft? Are there any other differences, aside from the cam weight assembly?
