What is this

[midnightrider1818]

So i tore apart my 413, after I got done pressure washing it I found this laying on the ground, i did knock the rear cam plug out of the block also so thinking that is where this came from, does anybody know where this came from, thanks

Distributor gasket? Newer ones had an "O" ring, but older, like your 413, had a gasket under them.

I don't think so, it's not a gasket, it's more like a shim, it's made out of metal but I guess it possibly could be a distributor gasket, metal gasket

Looks like what's left of a exhaust donut gasket.

Your picture does look like the distributor gasket as noted. The early distributors used an embossed metal shim gasket instead of the rubber o-ring used later. It has a slight raised sealing ring.

It is definitely the distributor seal/gasket. Call it a shim if you want to but it still goes between the block and the distributor base.

My 64 Sport Fury convertible 426-S distributor still has the original one.

And here, I was going to go out on a limb and say that it's a circular metal thing in your hand.

A close up does show some turquoise paint.

That normally goes with a factory points / no o ring so it seals, and grounds.
