Display MoreDisplay MoreHere is an Ebay auction for a used FoMoCo Hipo distributor by Ebay member "gt35067" with a Buy-It-Now of $1,200.00:
This is a factory original 289 HiPo dual point distributor from a K-code Mustang or Shelby GT350.
It has a part number of C5OF-12127-E.
The date code is 5GA which is 5-1965/G-July/A-first week.
The date would put it right at the very end of 1965 production in late July- early August and into the very beginning of the 1966 production which also started in August.
The housing has a number of C5OF-12131-B.
It also has the correct FoMoCo logo.
The distributor looks to be in really good shape.
The housing only has a few incidental marks (see pictures).
I don't see any corrosion or pitting.
Under the cap it looks like it has some light oil coating.
Nothing appears to be rusted or pitted.
It just looks like it needs a good cleaning before the restoration.
The power wire has had a cheap repair.Overall, this is a hard-to-find original distributor for your high-end restoration.
**By eBay rules the package will need an adult signature upon arrival.
I ship packages within 1 business day in most cases, but in rare cases it may take 2 business days. I do my best to only charge the actual shipping costs. All UPS/FEDEX shipments include full value insurance. If the box is to be shipped through USPS Priority Mail it will be shipped with a tracking number. I do not charge for boxes, stuffing, tape or handling. Thanks

Hi - I am interested in obtaining a HiPo distributor from ‘65/‘66 - any comment that your expert, trained eye can provide concerning this unit would be appreciated!

If I were you, I would at least wait until I had a Kar so that you will be seeking a proper date code for simple parts like a distributor.
