What is correct enginerring number for 68 gt500kr auto distributor?
thanks chris
The most common is C8OF-12127-D
Very early or very late cars may differ
Thanks!
Softballs appreciated
Is there any way of knowing which distributer was fitted to each car, my car has a dual points?
The CJ distributors were single point
Pete, when did you get promoted to Contelec CEO?
When the owner, David Long passed away.
OK, so the correct distributor for the 68 GT500KR is single point,,,
What is the correct one for the automatic? C7OF-12127-F
The 1968 distributor situation is interesting. The engineering numbers we've listed here are clearly documented in Ford literature, but we've received multiple reports from owners that describe finding the C8OF-D distributor with a single diaphragm vacuum advance on cars equipped with an automatic transmission. Coincidentally, Ford TSB number 1415 (dated 31 May 1968) describes the C8OF-D distributor being used with both manual and automatic transmissions. To top it all off, other owners have described finding the C8OF-J distributor on 1968 Mustangs!
Which one should I be looking for?
Cheers
The identification C8OF-D was used on both transmissions
The vacuum advance was a single unit on automatic transmissions and a dual vacuum unit was used on 4spd cars.
I have seen the C8OF-H on 4spd cars built at the end of production like yours. It would be feasible the C8OF-J was used on very late automatic cars.
I would not expect and have not seen the C7OF unit on very late built cars. I believe it was phased out very early in production.
The C8OF-D was by far the most common.
C7OF used on early CJ autos
