What is the original application listing of Ford and was it originally a dual point/dual vacuum?

I have it as a 72/73 351c R code Cobra Jet. Is that wrong?

1973 351CJ (Q code) in the Mustang/Cougar for the 1973 model year only.

PS: No "R" code's in 1973  ;)

My way of checking to see if the response is a scammer and someone is paying attention?

Do you have the listing as a dual point?

I'm trying to find the source of the dual point/dual vacuum advance plate. So far no good.
Someone suggested that it might be an MSD part from their old dual point offering? Can't find that listing either?

It's the same part as for the Boss 302/9 and 429 CJ's.

I think that I am Rip Van Winkle and have just awakened from a 20 year sleep? Geese!  ::)

Correct but who has them besides Perogie? I know how they work. They just found a source that no one else knows of.

I already bought one for $237. The entire distributor isn't worth that put together?


I should shave off my beard. I keep tripping over it.

I think I have a good used plate. About 1/2 of Perogie.

It looks like the one. Are there any markings stamped into it? The bearing in mine has a different appearance? I suppose there may be vendor variations?

Some units use 4 retainers for the bearing. Same but different. This one is good as you will find.

  You need the point cam too as it's higher and has a step cut into it for rotor clearance.

Yes. I have it. Just missing the points plate which "is in the mail".

The only thing that I noticed with the cams is that there are at least two variations because of the timing cut outs on the wings. No part numbers to speak of on them though?

At what point did the distributor caps stop being marked AUTOLITE? Are there MOTORCAFT marked caps? I don't remember marked caps on '72s and later.

I see two variations of the Ford points. One is the AUTOLITE. Then the MOTORCRAFT.
