Distributor Vac Advance 1959 Lincoln 430.
Can any one tell me if there is a supplier for a vacuum advance unit for a 430 MEL Engine.
Here is what I have. Part number for the distributor. #FEW 1212 7-H (922)

I also found this part number of the actual part on my parts car....#FEK 12378-E
THIS PART HAS A STRIGHT ARM AS OPPOSED TO
......ANOTHER PART THAT HAS A CURVED ARM??.....tHIS IS ALSO A 1959 LINCOLN

Maybe this could be an alternative Part Number: M1129331
Manufacturer Number: 29331

The NIEHOFF PN is on the box. The FORD P & A PN is below the photo.

Thank you Kultulz and Theo.
In the third picture, my other 59 430 has a curved arm ....would this be a replacement unit?
I have not looked at the part number yet...Maybe a distributor out of a 462 motor?

There was mixed production during that period. The straight arm is early design, the bent arm later design. That is why the DIST I.D. NO. is so important in ordering the correct service parts.

Thanks to all of you ....Very good information.
I found a new part and will post it in the DIY section.
