Larry's has a remanned '57 distributor - no pic - for $250, but, it also has a $600 core charge. 
You'd have to come up with a rebuildable core. Plus, make sure it's not the oddball tach-drive version? Not sure about '57 T-birds, did they have the tach-drive distributors? I bet they did.

dist ball bearing swivel plate : B7a-12127-PPREB for $149.95 with a $125.00 core.
dist pivot plate : B7A-12127-REB for $149.95 with a $125.00 core.
the two above are rebuilt dist with no advance, no rotor and no cap. I do not k ow if my rotor and cap will fit but i suspect not since the v8 dist cap is listed 1954 to 1956.
the advance they have is as follows.
B7a-12370-C is a 57-58 advance listed to fit all for $54.95 with no core.
B9AF-12370-A is a 59-64 advance with picot plate for $59.95 with no core.
so if i go with the ball bearing early 57 dist im looking at without cap and rotor would be roughtly $330.
this is dist here.

EDIT-
Here is a copy of a recent post giving more period detail by TED EATON-
The HOLLEY LIST NO. Suffix indicates a design revision within production period.
Here is a copy of a recent post giving more period detail by TED EATON-
List 1161 carbs are for 312 Ford and Mercury engines.
List 1162 carbs are for 292 Ford and Mercury engines
List 1163 carbs are for 292 Thunderbird engines.
List 1164 carbs are for 312 Thunderbird engines.
The numerical listing only goes into minor detail on the suffix numbers but a suffix number change doesn’t change its intended application. I’ve another Holley manual that goes into the specifics of the suffixes or dash numbers at the ends of the list numbers but those represent either differences in automatic and standard transmissions or represents a change that was made mid-year during actual production. A list number with no dash number would represent the original version. In some cases, I’ve found a difference in suffix number simply indicating a mid-year production change in power valve and/or jet sizing change.
For all intent and purposes, the 292 and 312 carbs are interchangeable with no differences in drive-ability. The restoration people do like the exact carburetor in place but for the rest of us, anything that looks the same is close enough.

I got a 1161-2 from Champion Carburetors they had two on hand and rebuilt one and sent it to me. Was quicker than me sending my original 1161-2 out. How ever mine is a 292 though but the carb that is on the original manifold that as far as I know is original to the car is a 1161-2 which means its a 312 carb. Makes me wonder if the Dallas plant was installing the 1161 carbs on 292`s.
