charlie - I can see some sweet modifications done to your y-block, would you care to tell us some details about it? Like where did the valve covers come from and your ignition upgrade and where you got the alternator brackets from.

Alternator bracket and valve covers from John Mummert, http://www.ford-y-block.com. The valve covers do not come with the breather holes. I drilled those.

The distributor is a Duraspark distributor that fits a Y block. There's nothing particularly special about it. It's a fairly easy modification for a factory distributor but mine uses an actual Duraspark body. The whole ignition system came from Performance Distributors, distributor, box, coil, wires, and wire dividers. I made the brackets for the coil and wires. I don't think you can get the distributor from them. It was a unique situation but all of the other stuff is universal. http://performancedistributors.com/
