> That Z5TF is the Ford engineering number, not the part number. It is Tiger specific but not the part number, the part number (if you were able to order it) is C4OE-12127-A. The advance is B9AF-12370-A and is used on many Ford engines. This B9AF-12370-A part has been obsolete for a while, it was superseded by a vacuum advance that has the vacuum hose connection built into it, this advance is still available and will work, but it isn't concours correct.
