Easy one first - would be cast with the Autolite script in the housing. Motorcraft didn't come into use for a few more years.

Probably D0OF-Z but late 70 AT usually got the distributor modulator system don't know if that makes any difference

M code or H code ?

My Late Dearborn M code Mach1 (Auto, AC) has a D0OF-Z Distributor, I'm sure it's original.

Hope this helps, John

 EDIT... I took my comment about the 2bbl Distributor out cause I'm not sure it's right. The 70 Shop manual specifies an AO suffix but everything else I read says otherwise .....

Hope this helps, John

Thanks Jim, never knew to look there great info...

assume the last column is for a Motorcraft service replacement and the factory originals are all Autolite on the chart?
