Not mine but 2 currently listed on ebay.

Thought I'd post since they don't seem to come up very often.

Ebay search on C5GF-12127-A

Too bad they are missing complete vacuum advance units.  Complete, rebuildable vacuum advance units are getting hard to find.

Thanks for that info, I didn't know that.

Luckily the 65 distributor I picked up had the vacuum advance.

The diaphragm part you want is C5AZ-12370-A, Motorcraft DD-190. Those numbers came off the box. Do not get confused by other numbers, they are incorrect. The best identification of the correct item is that it has a 5/8-18 tapped hole for either the metal tubing vacuum fitting or the later used 3/16 rubber vacuum tube. Yes, they are rare. The current "replacement" has a permanent 3/16 od tube attached where the 5/8-18 tapped hole was.
