check with Ford main dealer or customer relations Ford motor company. Ford own and run a ford historic vehicle garage. they will be able to assist .its on Ford land at Dagenham but you cannot get public access to it. ( nor can most Ford employees)
the number will be available on o d Ford parts info. bear in mind the dizzy is same for 166GT as Mexico as it is same engine in both cars. there were two makers of distributor used so check it either bosch or Lucas.

Thanks. Like you I'm not a million miles away from Dagenham but is that the only way? The spec doesn't appear to be in any OE list, forum, manual etc which is amazing. Is there no one out there who knows?? Or is it down the road to Fords Bat-Cave to get them to look?
Thanks
