The Cobra one? Have two of the versions of the"guide" and I guess this one intake and possibly another were overlooked. fair number of them out there.  I can't be sure  if its missing from the l;last version published since they don't seem to have dates or revision listed on the guide. Typically early to mid real 66's is what I've been finding them

Here are few few pictures of a couple of examples. Of course  carb pad has been modified a bit on the one

Yes, I didnt see one with the firing order in that location, but I may have an older version of the chart

The version with "Shelby" in place of the "Cobra" was made after car production ended. Carroll was trying to make some money. He did.

For clarification the Shelby name started appearing on intakes and other items in later 67 for sale in his catalogs etc. It is unclear if the introduction of those Shelby marked parts was after 67 production stopped or not. Shelby name aluminum parts were also sold while 68 and 69/70 Shelby production was going on. Meanwhile Ford continued to market intakes with the Cobra name on into late 69 if not 70. I am not for sure but that might be when just the name FORD began being used in place of Cobra on the intake and oil pans.

I had a "Shelby" marked single Dominator intake that was made for the FE. At the time Shelby had partnered with JC Penney's automotive and a few other places. It was around 1972 and car production had long since ended. If you see something marked "Shelby" you know it was never mounted on a car until the car was well used. How that affects value is up to you.

Except 69/70 GT350's which used a factory installed "Shelby" marked intake for the 351W.

I've got a Shelby Dominator intake for a 351C. Don't know what year it was made?

I thought those were marked "Cobra" too?

Just as a SHELBY lettered time frame reference, the 1967½ Honest Charley catalog. I do not know if the catalog had a publishing date in it or not.
