390 distributor question

Hello, just wondering if anyone could tell me what particular distributor my truck came with. Specifically the letter designation....D0TF-12127-?
1970 F100 Ranger LWB
390 2 w/d
B/W T85N O/D transmission
3.50 gear

Thanks in advance

That's a Ford Part#, and contrary to some belief, Ford/Autolite distributors are good units. I still have mine in my 71', I just changed from points to pertronix. D0 in the part# = 70 year...so it's makes sense.

Right, I agree about the part number and year etc. I also think they are great distributors and I'd like to find a good one. Thats why I'm asking. The letters at the end and below the part no. are respective to the calibration of the distributor I believe. Thanks
