Where did a baby like you hear about the straight 8?
The distributor Tripower has is a dual point for 57 Chevrolets, the 220, 245 and dual four 270 HP passenger and corvette. Date code 1956, June 26th.
Someone would want that for their car.

I had a feeling it was corvette...but it doesn't have a tachdrive...Thanks chevymusclecars
Corvette didn't get the tach drive dist until 62. Like bill said, the 891 dual point was used in optional high perf and special high perf small blocks from 57 to 61 except the FI.

Most people expect a tach drive on a Corvette distributor but some of us actually ran that distributor on small blocks because of the centrifugal advance and dual points. It was kind of hard to get engine vacuum with the duration on the cams we used. I never had a straight eight but with the gear missing it does make it look more like the 235 Chevy distributor. Just remember, some day you be on this site and someone will be calling you the old guy.
