Late car, so a late set of points, that makes sense.

Pre '66 ( before AUTOLITE ) the FoMoCo version for performance use is FDS 12171 A
Just thought I would add this option.....

Some 25 years ago I bought a bunch of Fomoco and Autolite points from a dealership going out of business.  Never used them because I later installed a Petronix and forgot about them.

Now, looking over my points and since they are not boxed, how do you tell the difference from a DP-3, DP-6 or DP-12?

DP-3 and DP-6 look the same except are "mirror images" (reverse) of each other. DP-12 have a curved base.

Not Ford points but the pic below shows the differences. DP-5 look exactly like DP-6 but have slightly lower spring tension.
