Easy, with hacksaw.
So, all I got to do is to saw my distribuitor in 4 parts? There is a guy here that did a ignition system on his jeep, without the distribuitor cap to get into the water... I suppose that you did something like him...
Video of his system working:

That is a very different distributer from normal Ford ones.
The points in that distributer are very different from the pre 56 and 57 newer Ford points. It uses the old style Ford condenser with flat copper strip. One big difference I see is that the points has a pivot pin with one screw like the Chrysler (Autolite) points or Prestolite points used on industrial engines and are curved like them also.
If that Accel kit fastens to the distributer the same as the Pertronixs then the 57 up Ford kit on Ebay will not fit. I think you may have to find a Prestolite kit for that distributer or at least compare it for correct fitness.
Did this distributer come out of an industrial engine.
Where was the manufacture of the distributer.
marvYes, in this photo you see a old style condenser, but there is a newer type of condenser that I use now... I'll take a pic later...And about the pivot and one screw, you are right. This distribuitor is the most common on the y-blocks here in Brazil, actualiy, all the y-block engines that I saw until today, were running with this distribuitor...
I've sended a e-mail for the Accel thec suport, lets see what they say to...
