I��m having a little brain fade. Would a distributor on a 68-302 have a tag similar to a duraspark distributor? I��m trying to ID the distributor on the 289 I have but there is no tag. The housing has C8OF-12131-A on it but I think that is just an engineering number. I��m going to take another look at it. If it��s for a 302 4V I��m going to hang onto it.------------------

Ok, I Found C8ZF-12127-A with a date of 7G26 (67/Aug/26th). The MPC says its for a 68 302 F, X(4/B, 3/S/T & T/E). I need a little help figuring this out. F stands for Mustang and X stands for a Falcon. Does this mean that it is for any Mustang with a 302 and a Falcon with 4/B, 3/S/T & T/E? Does the 3/S/T stand for a 3-spd standard trans? My coupe originally came with a 302 4V and since it is a California car I would imagine that it had the thermactor on it but my car came with a C4. The car was also built on 02/05/68. I think the 7G26 date might be a little early.------------------

So does it fit the Mustang with the same things as a Falcon or is the (4/B, 3/S/T & T/E) ment for the Falcon only? Anybody know what 3/s/t is?

3/s/t is three speed standard transmission. The C8OF-12131-A number won't help much, I'm afraid, because it is the engineering number for the housing, which were used for many different distributors, it were the components that determined the application, so the tags say it all. The C8ZF-12127-A number, however, IDs it as a Mustang part {the Z in C8ZF}. For reasons I'm not quite clear about, while the MPL uses F as identifying Mustangs, on part numbers Ford used Z for Mustangs. So, long story short, you have it ID'ed right. ------------------

On that MPC cd there is an identification chart for distributors and after clicking on V* and 302-351 you can see the chart I��m looking at. The distributor has C8ZF-12127-A as an id number and 7G26 as the date. When I look at the chart for C8ZF-12127-A under ID numbers and C8ZZ-12127-A as the part number. It shows 2 distributors for and auto trans with the IMCO and one with the Thermactor (C8ZF-12127-B F(4/B,A/T, & IMCO), C8ZF-12127-D F,X(4/B,A/T, & IMCO), and C8ZF-12127-A F, X(4/B, 3/S/T & T/E)). That is the Id number up there by the date near the cap isn��t it?I just assumed that all of the California cars had the thermactor emission on them. There also is no distributor listed for a J-code with a 4 spd either so I��m assuming that since this was a copy of the1975 printing that some parts were superseded. I��m going to just assume that the distributor is not the original to my car since the date on it is 5 months prior to when my car was built and the original engine isn��t in there.

Has anybody seen an ID for a 68 with the 302 4V and a 4spd? I was just curious.
