53 f100 needs a distributor

Does anybody have a source to find a distributor for a 53 f-100 with a 215 straight 6? Preferably with an electronic ign. kit.

Thanks!

Those are not for the straight 6.

Are you missing your stock distributor, or does it just need rebuilding?

Distributor

I'm sure Terry's F100 Parts in Stromsberg, Neb. can help.

The 215 and 223 distributors are the same.
If you already have a distributor you can replace the points and condenser with this module -
Amazon Amazon

Here is a complete distributor - https://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_t...-cylinder.html
