Well  '65  AC cars had them and I suspect '66 AC models did  too.

You sure, Bob? My 66 A/C 140 didn't have  anything special.  It used a 
standard 330 140 distributor (from the  factory) and was  no different than a 
standard 
140.  18 degrees  initial advance, I  believe. I remember hearing from Mark 
that the 67  A/C cars had a special  distributor advance that started at an  
initial setting of something like 24  degrees. That would need a  "plated" 
rear 
cover, like the turbos. But I don't  remember the 65s  or 66s having anything 
special as a distributor in the A/C   cars.

I can only speak from the two AC cars I did extensive work on; a '65 110 AC  
Monza convertible and a ''66 110 AC Monza sport sedan and both had the  
extender plate riveted on.  I'm pretty sure I still have a spare from the  '66 in 
the "pile" somewhere.  Sounds like the 140 didn't have the extender  plate.
