1266? Does it matter what carb I have?

I believe either the 91266 Ignitor II or 1266 Ignitor I should be the correct unit(s). But you should call Pertronix to be sure. I can't remember the # of the one I installed in my 170. Their application info is annoyingly vague and confusing. Their catalog states the 1261 is for Autolite distributors from '49-'74 and the 1266 is for Motorcraft distributors from '63-'67. Problem is "Motorcraft" didn't exist until the seventies, and it was really just a rebranding of Autolite parts by Ford after Ford was forced to divest of it's portion of the company. My distributor is FoMoCo.
I pretty sure that the 1266 is for load-o-matic distributors like ours. But like I said, can't say for sure.
No, it makes no difference what carb you have. If it works now, it will work after the pertronix is installed.

Solid "D" shaped rotor shaft is 1266, Hollow "C" shaped rotor shaft is 1261
