    The Petronix website suggests looking at the base of your distributor or an attached tag for codes. Then go back to the website and plug the codes into their search feature. Let us know if that worked.

    1261 is the common Ford 6 cylinder kit for stock point distributors in the Maverick - 70 to 74.
    I put Pertronix in everything .......... :)

    I learned the hard way that the 1261 doesn't fit the 1960-64 distributor with the "D" style shaft. Part number for this type shaft is 1266.
