Does it look like this one - with the screw-in cover and tapped hole for the steel vacuum line fitting?

Be sure and tell them which one you need - there is another vacuum pot with a "nipple" on the port that accepts a push on hose.

verr: You don't have a vacuum advance? Or it does not work? If you have it, what carb are you using? Is it hooked up to the carb or mainifold? Details?

Assuming you need the vacuum advance chamber with the crooked arm, then the vacuum chamber from a ’58 or later 352 or 390 should also work as well as the chambers for the small block Ford (221/260/289).  The spring tension in the chambers may not be exactly the same thereby making for a slightly different vacuum advance curve but that isn’t expected to be a show stopper on a Y.  But nothing guarantees the replacement vacuum chambers being the same in spring tension anyhow as they tend to be pretty generic to fit a wide application of vehicles.  Just be sure to carry your old one with you to the parts store to insure that you are getting a chamber that physically looks the same.
