Agreed shelbydoug... I'm happy to know what it is and know that it's a much older (maybe period correct) intake.

TA coupe, I literally just decided to try it from my phone (Iphone) and when I got into it noticed I had the "user actions" tab you mentioned earlier... clicked on that and then went thru the next step or 2 to load the pic and it worked?

It's technically not period correct...just my two cents of thought

+1 .The repro intake on your car is copied after a 1967 and later intake. It has extra provisions for smog which weren't seen until 1967 up. It would not be the best aftermarket alternative on a 1965 engine. There is no 1965 Cobra intake that has been reproduced . The closest that you could come in that department is the excellent Scott Drake S2MS marked Cobra intake which is almost Identical to some Cobra intakes that were produced in 1966 production. https://www.jegs.com/i/Scott-Drake/204/S2MS-9424-C/10002/-1

Here is a picture of the Scott Drake reproduction Cobra intake which is more correct looking then the blue thunder reproduction Cobra intake which has been around for 15 or 20 years in current form.

Thanks Bob, SFM6S! I like the Drake version... maybe someone out there has an original for sale? Knowing what mine is now Bob, do you have a ball park estimate how old it is?

The Drake repro is marked just like the genuine it copies which is S2MS 9424 A . That early style of repro intake you presently have on the engine is probably 30 years old IMO.

FYI a genuine nice condition S1MS 1965 small letter intake sell in the 1800-2800.00 range if you can find one. If you are considering a genuine S2MS intake over the repro S2MS in this case would be a lateral move IMO not worth doing because it is so close in appearance.

True... my goal here is to get as much as I can, period correct or original. Next on the list is swapping the rear disc brakes for larger drum. I'll have some pics shortly of the rear end/axel as were having difficulty identifing what it came out of.. it's a 9inch, just can determine what from and so far no identifying tags/marks etc.
