Thanks Jim. I have references from Ford manuals. As we know that isn't always what ended up in cars. Can someone relay their findings from original cars?

Carb  C7OF-9510-A Holley list 3793
Distributor  possibly a C7OF-12127-H

After 50 years, you expect original?
If I was a 67 judge, knew my distributors and carburetors, and saw something I knew was not specified, I would be suspicious. The "book" (read any documentation) may be incorrect, but what is found in a car isn't the best method.
On the other hand, if you come up with something different and have a source, I'll be grateful for some input and will update the info I've entered.

I'm not saying ended up as in owner modified but what Ford did. A good example is 68 428 cj distributors. The books show 2 versions, I can name 5 that were used

If true, I would like the Ford numbers, a source and any other info you have.

Thanks for the input Jim but with all due respect I don't have time to write a research paper right now, I just wanted some information
For those reading who this might benefit I have had reported to me from several known original cars a 67 S code 4 speed mustang uses either C7OE A or C. C is thermactor, all others A. The A matches with the C7OE H distributor. The C uses either C7OE F or G

Have you considered using the library on this Forum? It "might" have the information you need there.

See your signature shows a Jan 67 build but the other needed piece of info would be Thermactor or without. ;)

If your going to use the Library then you don't need to post it here unless you want us to provide - just sort of a reminder for the next poster
