Cap, rotor, wires, points etc is the same as for all Ford V8s of that era. (FE or FT and others)

Plugs would be specific to that motor, so just pull one and if it looks ok other than normal wear, just go back with the same plug.

BF32 or BF42 maybe.

Plug wires same 1958/76 FE & 1964/78 FT engines.

Whiz down to the auto parts store, ask for tune up parts, wire set for a 1967/68 Mustang/Cougar 390 or 1968/73 F100/350 360/390.

C models don't use the high mount fan water pump, that water pump was used on L models.
