    I don't have my Ford cross reference books right at hand but I can tell
you that the points for the GTB are as easy as pie to find. They are the
same as the GPW and of course the MB. Available at any NAPA store.

     One thing to remember.......The distributor on the vehicle may not be
the correct one. It was common to switch them with others that fit. I have
found many, many Ford GP's that have an incorrect Autolite distributor
instead of the correct Ford one. So many have these Autolite ones that most
restorers think these are correct for the GP.

   Always check the manuals to make sure you have the correct one on your
vehicle.
