Anyone here know what the dimensions are of the hairpin clip that holds the vacuum advance rod to the swivel plate for a '56 load-o-matic distributor?

Im looking at assortments but not sure if they have a size that even will work.

...cause this is now using venturi vacuum where as the old setup with the old carb was running manifold vacuum.  not sure if it would be strong enough of a signal.


Hold on a minute. We are talking 1956 LOAD-O-MATIC correct? H4000 W Spark Control Valve and Single (breaker plate) ADV DIST?


Correct, 1956 dist with dual reservoir vacuum advance with two vacuum lines to a holley 4000 carb.

Might upgrade to a newer dist, I see the local napa sells a dist for a 1960 F100 with a 292 for $80 plus $15 core.  But I already got all the parts before I stumbled across this otherwise I would have went with this dist and modified my holley 4000 to function with the late model dist.

Aside from that I am working with oem parts correct for 1956 model year.
