56 Lincoln Mark II distributor

In good shape. Includes vacuum a chance, cap, and rotor. $250obo.

Looks like a 56 Ford distributor with vacuum advance only, no mechanical advance.  57's were better, had dual advance.

Dual vacuum advance?

I think I've got a 56 distributor somewhere, but its a bit cold in the garage to look.  My faint recall is that there were two diaphragms to speed up the vacuum advance with a derivative signal (mathematically a  second order) since there was no mechanical advance.  Don't see any centripetal weights inside.

Thanks.    I'll relist this in the general buy sell

JC Whitney lists one that might work.  Also Speedway Motors has some I think.  Check it out!
