IMO no way the curve results will ID a distributor.  Most of the ones I work on have been messed with.

Agreed on both counts.

It is a C5OF  My question was to validate it is operating to specification.  Thanks.

I don't know the restorer, but give him credit for allowing video of work being done.  I'm guessing Shelby's are not his forte, but the one positive thing is I'm sure this has been a learning experience.  Each of us that have done restorations have gotten better with each car done.  I would have liked to have seen less power tools being used and more following the Ford shop manual for torque specs.

I understand from those that have talked to him in the context of this restoration prior to the beginning of it that he considers himself a competent Mustang restorer that doesn't need any help. He lives relatively close to Jerry which was the main reason for him getting the job so Jerry could more easily video document.

Thanks for the reply.  Second question is at what distributor rpm is the 13 degrees achieved?

From the Ford Spec sheet

C5OF-12127-E
  650 RPM - 2 1/4° to 3 3/4°
  750 RPM - 4° to 5 1/2°
1,000 RPM - 6 1/2° to 7 1/2°
1,600 RPM - 7 1/2° to 8 3/4°
2,000 RPM - 8 1/4° to 9 3/4°
Steady advance from 9 3/4° to 13°
At some point around 2,500 RPM the distributor max advance is 13°
The limit is 14°

Those numbers are distributor machine numbers

So many missteps and mistakes on this segment it is really cringe worthy.

Very true.  And, unfortunately, some will use this (series of) video as a guide.  Especially, trying to install the gas cap after the taillight panel is on.
