Can anyone identify the application of these points? They are part number F-503. An internet search came empty.
Thanks Steve

I'm not sure but i think that 503 might be ww2 jeep.

They look similar to 8N tractor points.

Not 8N, their part number is FAA-12171-A

G 503 was the government ID number for the WW2 jeep

The box is printed with Ford. So would they be for both the Ford and Willys built jeeps?

Thats a good question. I would call my friend John at midwest military here in MN. They may have some good value to the jeep guys. 952 440 8778

Those points have a lot of applications, mostly autolite.
Check out the fitment guide near the bottom of the page
in the link. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ECHCS725A

Thanks for the research Bob C. I mention they could be of value because of the NOS status. My friend and I bought 2 semi loads of gvmt surplus stuff years ago, some ww2, some newer. He got lucky and in his load was a case of NOS red distributor caps for jeeps.
He was getting about 200 each on ebay until gone. My load...not so good, but w2 jeep guys are as serious as 32 ford folks

One small difference between mine and the NAPA points are at the end of the spring and strap. On mine it has an oblong hole, the NAPA has a U shaped opening. I don't know if that makes any difference or not.
