Thanks John. I see in the parts book where they changed over from coaxial to constant control sometime in 1958 model year.

Ron , i think big coaxial
box on chrysler 57 , part of 58 takes much less pressure that the small box on plymouth and dodge that later became standard in big chrysler too . by 60 for sure and  maybe 59 coaxial was gone .You need  about same pressure on coaxial as mustang rack maybe 609-700 , other psi approaches 1000 on small mopar  box used fur many years , GM saginaw too 

explains why different suppliers
