For those who don't know, Ford part numbers can be decoded as follows:
Example: C4DZ-8600-A
C= Decade A is 1940, B is 1950, C is 1960, D is 1970, E is 1980,
F is 1990.
4=Year
D=Car the part was originally made for.
For the 1960's and 1970's the Models are:
A=Galaxie; F=Pinto,Mavrick,Falcon; L= Linc. Mark 4; M=Mercury;
O=Fairlane;
R=Capri; S=T-Bird; T=Truck; V=Linc.;
Z=Mustang; D & J are industrial.
I don't know what the Z (after the A) is for.
8600= Part group.
A= Revision
So "C4DZ-8600-A" decodes as:
"C" 1960's
"4" 1964
"D" Industrial
"Z" ?
"8600" Fan Group
"A" Revision- First revision. a "B" would be the second revision, "C"
3rd etc.
