Jeff you are right, in this instance a view of the big picture was the point.

You got it. As I had said before there seemed to be a little flip flopping (according to dates on dist)at the transition point. Not a hard and fast line which probably had to do with supplies. I can't give any insight on the Motorcraft  transition. I never paid much attention to the Autolite /Motorcraft transition because for my purposes i was not concerned about anything marked Motorcraft.

The distributors that made me ask are two I just picked up one is C5AF-E with a date of 6M6, and a C6AF-AZ with a date of 6M19, the first being a FoMoCo and the second a autolite. The first being a Shelby application and the second a non production sohc part.
