Wanted Hi Po Distributor- Autolite

  • I checked and i do have an autolite dist. but I believe its too early. The numbers on it are C5OF 12127 9H9 I know C5 is 65 but I thought the autolites weren't available until later.

  • Shawn, Your distributor is actually an August 9, 1969 date code. Ford changed the way distributors were date coded sometime in 1968. I have actually had FoMoCo cast distributors with a 1968 date code.

  • Dan,


    If this is for your 67 GT 350, I really think it should be a Fomoco script not an Autolite. I know Fomoco scripted distributors were made at least into 1968.

  • Dan, I have an NOS HiPo Autolite distributor, I can't remember the date right at this moment. I'm on vacation, but can look when I'm back. Is the date real important for you?
