Distributor Identification (1967)

I have a Motorcraft with markings (it's hard to see what they really are but here goes) 030F 12|27 ba then an 3E1 underneath. The zeros could be D's. What type of distribution is this?
 
Howdy Back:

Those marking don't help much. Take the cover off and tell us what you see. Are two advance return springs visible? If they are it's a Load-O-Matic. If it is from a '67 engine, then it is likely a Load-O-Matic type point distributor. Is the vacuum advance cannister still attached? '68 was the 1st year of a more performance oriented distributor. They have both centrifugal and vacuum advance. The centrifugal advance return springs are not visible from the top. They are under the stator plate. The vacuum advance return spring is built into the vacuum cannister housing.

I hope that helps with your iding it.

Adios, David
 
That should read C3OE or maybe D3OE. Look again closely if possible
C3 = 1963 and D3 = 1973, then the letter O which is a generic Ford code used on all models
The 12127 is a standaard code used on Ford dizzies.
How many vacuum ports on the advance cannister? 1 or 2?
