unknown ID tag found

[fatherdoug]

I found this tag wedged between the glove box door and the cover that fits over the door. Can somebody tell me what piece of equipment this would have come from?

The numbers are :

85
D7TE
12127
AMA
8A 14

Somebody will have to decipher the numbers but it looks like a carb tag to me.

Maybe a back up for if the door tag goes missing? Check it with the door tag see if anything matches.

Looks like a carb tag to me as well.

Thanks guys,

Tim, the carburetor still has a tag on it, but I don't know how many carburetors the truck has had.

Don, it doesn't match anything on the door tags, either.

Shot in the dark. Lol

Another vote for carb tag...

D7TE is the block code for a 75-79 351M

I am guessing engine and other info tag

 

[Stepside]

it's a distributor tag

Since 9510 is the basic number for a carburetor, and...

D7TE-6015-AB, AB1, AB2 is the bare block casting number for a 351M as installed in a 1977/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco...

This ID number has nothing to do with either.

Ford ID number: D7TE-12127-AMA = Ford part number: D7TZ12127AM .. Distributor Assy. (Motorcraft DA1654)

8A14 = Assembled January 14, 1978 / 85 is the code for the assembly plant.

Fits: 1977/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco 351M except CA.

Ford parts catalogs since day one: Fuel related parts are in the 9000 group, ignition related parts are in the 12000 group, engine related parts are in the 6000 group.

Thank You. Great, now I can hang the tag on the distributor instead of "hiding" it in the glove box door.
