Parts / Help! Distributor part gone.

« Last post by 88s69Mach1 on April 22, 2024, 01:38:32 AM »

Help! I was in the process of putting my distributor back together when I dropped the stationary sub plate assembly. There's three little yellow pads that separate the point/ breaker plate on there and they all went flying around the garage. I found two of them but one of them went to never never land and the other one is broken!! I think they're called slide pads but the Ford manual I have doesn't even show them. I attached some photos of it and the distributor numbers. If anyone has a few of these or knows where I could buy them I would appreciate any help I can get. I'm at a loss to find to any on the 'net.

My car is a 69 M code Mach 1 with the original distributor.  Thanks for any help!

Thinking back to the years when we used to restore a lot of original overhead consoles...
I recall if you peel the woodgrain decal off the aluminum insert on a 1968 overhead, the
alloy was shiny.  I guess Ford saved a few bucks by not having it brushed like the 1967's.
Before reproductions, I remember seeing plenty of shiny 1968's without woodgrain being sold as 1967's!

My oil pressure gauge  been working since i got my 500.
I ordered the correct Stewart Warner sending unit but seems I'm missing an adapter
or extension. Anyone have a picture of the correct setup or part number?

Thank you

There is no extension. You are missing a fitting that adapts the the threads of the sender to the different threads of the oil filter adapter. It is a hardware store part.

1970 Mustang / Re: Roof Side Weatherstrip Clip

We first saw these installed on 69 models after they did away with the vent windows and the support they provided to the side windows especially at highway speeds with the windows up and no vents in the door jamb we start seeing in 70. Not certain exactly the purpose or purposes they were designed to prevent or control but Ford spent money on engineers that determined they were needed and lost of money to have them installed on almost or all passenger cars in 1970.

Of course from the sites perspective they are needed since being without them would not be correct on a restored car. Plus I don't know why an owner would not want to replace or install them when redoing a car.  I have installed or had them in all the 69-up Mustangs and other Ford products I've restored or owned

The woodgrain vinyl piece was applied to the aluminum insert, and I've seen several fail over the years.  Perhaps yours was coming undone, and someone helped it along the way so that it was not unsightly.

All 1968's had the woodgrain applique

The 1967's had the aluminum insert.
