Help ID'ing this Distributor
I am trying to ID this distributor. As far as I know it came out of a 1974 E100 Econoline van with a 240 3.9L motor.
Only see three cast numbers on the body. It is an Autolite unit with 12127, to right A11, below 6AB. I can not read the numbers to the left of the 12127.

The 12127 is Fords indicator for "distributor". Yes it takes the same small black cap that is on my 1971 F250 300 4.9L motor. All the bottom of the distributor is the same as my 300 unit (gear, length, oil pump shaft), difference is the Adjustable Single Vacuum Advance and the advance plate in the top of the distributor. I will post some pictures on Thursday for you to look at.
