I have a 53 Flathead ford v-8 and this distributor is simply amazing. I had an original Flathead ford v-8 with the original distributor with an electronic conversion kit installed and I wasn't able to dial it in. This distributor was plugged and in and was at 2 degrees BTC, ran perfectly without any other further adjustment.
