Guessing at your possible build date (since we don't have any part of your Ford vin to measure against ;) its still pretty easy. Its NOT the brown case one :) As mentioned above the rectangle version of the FoMoCo is the one we all seem to like for your cars time period assuming it fits what we suspect. I'm hoping your car was built very close to my wife's cars build date/period



And yes for that period it would have been too early to find an Autolite one in the system. For others, when we get into the Autolite period there were a number of different versions not often found nor seen before we start seeing the C7AF-11450-A  ones. These include the two versions of the C4AF-11450-A  and the C6AF-11450-A marked ones

brown sealer should be placed on the top rivet for this time frame?

Glyptal sealer was typically used throughout production .It is a reddish brown. Sometimes a little to none is seen and sometimes a lot. The sealer was put on from the inside of the housing and the rivet then was set. The reddish brown sealer would typically ooze out from around the sides. If you are adding this to make it look like it is coming out from around the rivet very little is needed. Less is more comes to mind.
