This FoMoCo stamped distributor SOLD for $225.00.

DESCRIPTION:

Here we have a Fomoco Dual Point Distributor for a 289 High Performance engine, commonly used in Mustangs, Fairlanes, and Cyclones. This distributor is free of excessive wear, and the lobes are still crisp to snap both sets of points open as originally designed. No excessive play in the shaft, this unit has no visible signs of gouges or repairs, and can be used as is, but would certainly be a beautiful candidate for a classic restoration.

This unit, stamped with FoMoCo, has a factory part number of C50F-12127-E, and is dated 4G8 (shown in last photo). Standard distributors were equipped with a vacuum advance pod on the side, unlike these high performance units, which offered no vacuum advance. This unit has not been modified to disguise a removed vacuum unit. This is NOT a Motorcraft replacement - it's a gennie!

Rebuild it yourself. Glazier's Mustang Barn sell's the bushing, advance springs, cap retainer clips etc. everything you need to rebuild it.

That's the correct date code...although it looks a little rough, and is described as having play in the bushing, maybe you can buy it cheap enough so that the cost of refurbishing it won't bring the total cost too high.

That is what I was hoping Gene, thanks guys. But that is only if the other one listed in the forum does not pan out.
