Here is an Ebay auction for a used Autolite Hipo distributor by Ebay member "mustangmasters428" with a starting bid of $450.00:
[size=2][size=2]Here we have a good used C5OE FoMoCo Dual Point Distributor for a 289 High Performance engine, commonly used in Mustangs, Fairlane's, and Cyclones with these special 271 horsepower motors. Standard distributors were equipped with a vacuum advance pod on the side. These stock units had only 1 set of points unlike these high performance units which used 2 sets to get a hotter spark for increased performance. They also had a sleek distinctive look with NO vacuum advance.[/size][/size]
[size=2][size=2]This original distributor has some minor cosmetic issues although there are no extra holes or any modifications. You will find it is in good used working condition although we do suggest you use your judgement before installing. The lobes are crisp to snap both sets of points open as designed. No excessive play in the shaft, this unit has no visible signs of gouges, welds, or repairs. This piece can be used as is for a survivor car or could be a perfect candidate for a K code classic restoration.[/size][/size]
[size=2][size=2]This unit has the factory part number of C5OF-12127-E which was for the 65 66 models with a stamped date of 0F10. This FOMOCO part is a true factory original piece verses the later version Motorcraft replacement. Should this not work for you we also have several other factory dual points available. Please check your application and if you are a high end show car owner please realize you might give extra time to function and or detail to meet your higher standards .[/size][/size]
[size=2] [size=2]A[/size] great distributor for that buyer completing his motor whether it be on a engine stand or in a GT Fastback, even a Shelby clone. Its the real deal for you who own a HiPo 289 equipped Mustang or Fairlane this is your distributor! If by any chance you're are building that HiPo 289 don't miss out! [/size]
