Thank you very much Jim Beeker, clean and found number where you told me FE1 -104409 but this does not look like IH part number or could you tell me which model of tractor it fits. thank you jc
 
Good news and bad news. The good news is you found the symbols I sent you looking for. The bad news is I have never seen any listing for a symbol "F". Is there any chance there is a letter "A" in front of the "F"? If so, symbol AF is correct for a 504 with a gasoline engine. It was also on other C-153 engines (in 203 combine for example). If you find an "A" in front, there is your answer. If not, you can dig a little deeper. If you tear it apart, below the points plate are the centrifugal advance weights. They are mounted on a disk on the distributor shaft. That disk will be stamped for maximum advance and rotation direction. The AF distributor should be stamped 21L. If it is stamped something else, we can do some more looking to narrow down the possible distributor version.

The "E1" appears to be a date code, for May of some year that ends with a "1". 1961 would make sense for a 504 tractor.
 
Could the first letter be a E also? If so some SC and SA tractors used that model before changing to a J. If so it came with 30 degree advance parts with a may 1951 date.

I didn't think of the possibility of a mis-read on the first letter. You are right, E symbol makes sense and is probably is more common than AF.

I don't believe E was used on Super As, but it was used on the first 50,000 or so Super Cs. I think early Super As used symbol A.
