If it is a Loadmatic, then it will be very expensive to restore, upwards of ~$750.00 with good core.  The '57 Thunderbird distributor does not use the double diaphram distributor, and the CRT is very similar to that distributor.  I am installing one in my '55 Thunderbird's new engine next week, and going on the dyno for testing.  At least show him the CRT's pictures and specifications.  If it is a show car, then rebuild.   Joe-JDC
