Point type distributors are common cast offs in the Formula  Ford now that electronic is legal.  There are 2 versions of point type used Lucas ( usually black dist cap ) and Bosch.  The Bosch unit ( usually brown dist cap ) looks like a air cooled VW , Volvo , SAAB, Mercedes dist. The late 70's Ford Fiesta ( popular in the USA and world wide) used a Motorcraft electronic distributor ( usually a blue dist cap ) and a " Blue " grommet ford ignition box, these still turn up from time to time.If you are interested in racing, search for  " Cosworth Ford ".  The Kent engine was pretty much the English version small block Chevy in the 60's with the Cosworth built engines reaching silly turbo HP from 1.6 L.  These motors were used in full sized Indy cars / F1 up until the 80's.</blockquote>
