I have a rebuilt Y-block all ready to go into my '60. However, one of the clips that holds the cap on the distributor is busted. I ordered a pair from Dennis Carpenter, but alas, they're too short. Anyone want to sell any spares for the '57+ distributor?

I already tried in the Y-block forum, but got no replies.

 

This thread fell off with no replies ... was hoping to get some input on this.

 

Is there any way to measure the clip you need? I have a couple of old flathead dizzys, they might be the same.

 

I already checked the clips on the 8BA distributor I have lying around. They came up short. I'll measure the clip I have, just in case the flathead clips vary in length.

 

It's about 2 1/2" long, end to end.

 

8BA's are exactly what I have... good luck! If you go to a boneyard, you could surely find one close enough.

 

The boneyard comes through in a pinch! They managed to dig one up for me.

Around here, I didn't expect them to have it. Their selection of old stuff is pretty miserable. Thanks for the idea.
