Kevin,

>From your prefix, C5OF, you may have a HiPo distributor.  You need to look at
the suffix to positively ID it.  Attached are some charts that may help.
Remember though, Tigers were not issued with HiPo motors and mechanical
advance distributors.  They all had vacuum advance systems.  All MK I and MK
Ia Tigers came originally with 260 CID motors and MK II Tigers with 289
motors.

Digging a little further, from Bob Mannel's book on the Mustang &Ford Small
Block V8 1962 - 1969, Appendix D (attached) shows only one "C5OF" distributor,
a C5OF-12127-E, and it's application is listed for the 289 HiPo motor in the
Fairlane, Torino, Comet/Cyclone, and Mustang.  So it appears you have a HiPo
distributor.  "Right" for your '65 MK I?  That's up to you.  Original?  No.  A
very cool piece of hardware?  Definitely.

My MK I had a HiPo motor when I bought it way back when so I'm not sure what
the correct/original distributor was.  I'm sure there are others on the list
who do.

Cheers,

Darrell
