Is it a C7OZ-12127-F or G?


According to one reference that would be the original dist for your application.  No reason to redesign the dist for the application so they continued usign the same one for a number of years it appears


Hope this helps

It would be marked C7OF-12127-F or G from the factory. The "Z" in the fourth position of the part number indicates a service part number and would not (normally) be marked on the part. There is also an indication that this distributor was use on AT equipped cars with no reference to carburation, which may be the "G". This is in addition for the other listing used on every transmission option for four barrel cars. Fords abbreviations leave a lot to be desired.

  I think my car's distributor is from another car. Has C7AF-12127 A G

The application for the -AG is shown as: 390CID; 67 only; full size Ford, Fairlane; 2 barrel carb; AT; without smog.
It's most likely a rebuilt installed by a previous owner (who was just trying to help  ).

  The guy helped enough already by tossing original air cleaner in garbage for chrome aftermarket lid. Thanks for help. The large S stamped below by gear with another part number means nothing I guess.

If the other number has 12131 in the middle, it is the bare casting number used on distributors (different prefix and suffix for different engine series). From that bare casting, Ford used different weights and springs to make specific application units.
