1972 H code convert., 351C 2V, FMX, 9in., Ram air, Pwr Steering, Pwr Disc brakes, air-conditioning, 15" sport wheels, Ivy Glo w/white deluxe interior.
Originally purchased this to replace the Pertronix that was installed on the car because it interfered with the ram-air system. It has not been installed or used because I found a Pertronix model that had the profile needed for the ram-air system. My understanding of things puts this as an OEM unit and not a new build replica version of the original. Please be kind in any correcting replies. Only repeating what I was told. Thanks.

$75.00 plus shipping

One other thing of note, I had forgotten this was also a dual vacuum unit to fit the California Emissions that were original to the car. While they didn't work, being primarily disconnected, I removed the dual diaphragm and swapped it with the single from the Pertronix so that would have a more original correctness.

I’m interested, do you still have the dual diaphragm? Does it have a dual points plate in it?

Thnx

Yes, to the diaphragm, no to dual points. I wish it did, but I'd end up keeping it if it were.
Apologies for the delay, I clicked off notifications by mistake. PM me with your info and tomorrow I'll swap the diaphragm back to this distributor if you remain interested without the dual points.

Dual vacuum reinstalled. I can’t remember if vacuum advance distributors came with centrifugal advance so I’ll go out on a limb and state this is dual advance since it does have both mechanisms installed.
By the way, this is a quality rebuild and the points mounting plate is even original Motorcraft.
