  What year did Ford discontinue the crab style distributo, mounted on the front of the engine??

  The "crab" distributor was used only in 1942.

  Perhaps to add a bit of clarity, Ford only used the so called "crab" distributor CAP in 1942. The distributor (proper) was the same 1942 - 1948.

  When did they move it to the top of the engine?

  1949 on cars and 1948 on trucks.
