Quote from: TA Coupe on July 11, 2026, 08:13:40 PMI zoomed in and enhanced a couple of the pictures, and you can see that the body is a sixty seven part number so maybe someone just changed the nose cone on it. If you change the nose cone, then it may be correct for the application.

The C7 part or in this cast engineering number does not indicate the proper year for the part only when or for when the original design and engineering was done for and billed to. If you notice to the right of the engineering you (looks like to me ) will see a "8Kxxx"  maybe 17 indicating that it was (where ever the main body came from) originally made October 1968 - so for a 1969 car or truck. There are plenty of examples of C3 and C5 parts being original on your 67 and for other sixties Ford and Mercury products. Especially drivetrain parts.

We see all kinds of combinations - frankinstein starters where rebuilders used parts from different cores. Reason why its best to compare and not all parts that make up a starter after all these decades
