Your, "jail bar" is not an F-1. That sweet looking red unit, behind the jail bar, is an F-1. !948 through 1952, only. That said, Welcome to FTE. The place for your question(s) and probably more answers than you will need, is in the, "Older, Classic and Antique Trucks" section. The folks there know all about your truck, it's engines and most everything else that fits it.

Don't forget to join the International Chapter. You may well find a few other members close a t hand.

Welcome. Nice looking jail bar. My '39 p/u has an 8ba with a Chevy distributor so I really can't help you about your distributor vacuum advance but I'm sure you'll get the answer(s) you need. Also, check out the Ford Barn as well. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/ Lets of knowledge there as well.Also, more pictures - we like pictures.
