HiPo rebuilt distributors???

    Anyone ever heard of a Ford rebuilt HiPo distributor?


    I know Ford made new ones. I have seen Autolites with date codes 9F6, 9F23, 0B12, 0F10, 0G2, 0H9, 0L2, 1A20, 1D23, 1H25, and Motorcrafts with date codes 1J20, 1L6, 2B03, 3J4, 5F24, 5K20, 8C27, 9C27, 1A20, 1D20.


    So, it looks like Autolites went to the end of 1971 production and Motorcraft began with 1972. If so, some of the date codes like 1A20 and 1D20 could be 1981 or even 1991?. I also noted on boxes a possible date code of 053089 and 101991. Could the later style distributors (with the covered advance housing and metal tags) gone into the early 1990s?


    But, what about rebuilds?

    Bob, Up until about one year ago I had a rebuilt FoMoCo rebuilt dual point. I got it from a Mustang restorer in Southern CO. I probably had it for seven or eight years. I am trying to remember who I sold it to. Brown cardboard box with a green, blue and white labal w/ the Ford logo, wrapped in plastic, decent refinish on the housing.
