A word of caution - Ford used whatever stock of parts was available, no matter what size engine family. A 1972 vehicle just might have a 1970 coded engine part. Additionally, factory service parts may be whatever is on the shelf, also not necessarily the current year. This means that before you commit money for an upgrade, that you know exactly what you have.
