I see that the FD06 is made in Taiwan. Oh, well.

Anyway, the shaft is shorter and must be "stretched" by machining. It's a pain and, in hindsight, I should have gone with MSD.

Thanks Charlie, I was about to ask about that. The year range sounded incorrect.

The o-ring should not make it ride too high because it fits into the block, rather than on top of the block.

The FD06 replaced oem part numbers from C20F to D3UF, so roughly 1962 to 1973 so it should not be for a Y block.

Summitracing show an eta of 9/3 online.

It is indicated as in stock at Autopartswarehouse, though. Get them while they last. It's a good thing there are aftermarket options.

Says it is a brand new unit, not remanufactured, but appears to be for sbF

Also Summit Racing shows these 30-2808 available now $56.71 plus $30 core.Autopartswarehouse.com shows in stock.About the same price.But several other sources show temporarily unavailable so I would say there is a shortage of cores.No wonder.There is no core to return when they are used as replacements.

  

Is the # FD06?Or what is the Part# on the one you have?Amazon.com has lots of them(FD06) for $71.00.However when the 1964 F100 is entered as the application it says "does not fit".Doesn't mean its not correct for a Y-block.Just not listed for that application.Also indicates manufactured at Taiwan facility.Is it a reman unit with the original Ford ID #'s or is it a completely new casting.This may be another source for these Distributors if they are a good unit.More info please.

  

I'm using the new, Canadian-made Richporter. I have put a Pertronix II in it.
Gaskets and o-rings can/will cause the distributor to ride too high in a Y block.

Try this one on ebay.

Hi all, this is my first post though I've been a member for awhile. I've learned a lot of from these forums and I'd like to start by thanking all of the regulars for sharing. I have a 56 Sunliner that I'm working on and have been lucky enough to have found Tim to rebuild my 292.

I too, am looking for a 30-2808 and have had a real problem finding one. I did find that O'Reilly's has a Richporter FD06 that supposedly is for a 64 f100 with a 292. Has anyone used one of these?

Y blocks do not use o rings or gaskets on the distributor no matter what they say. They can damage the distributor.
