67 manifold

[pbf777]

    Some of the initial product examples from B.T. did have the "FoMoCo" as cast, but Ford Motor Co. was quick to point out to him that that was a "No-No"; so he removed this for later production examples.

    Then it seems he did make an agreement with F.M.C., as they then had started to chase him over the "COBRA" logo also, and it seems intermittently cast again "some" (mostly the 289 "Cobra") with the logos, but charged an additional fee to cover the royalty he said he had to pay Ford for doing so.

    So, when it comes to the intakes that B.T. may have made, with some of them (especially after use and then having been abrasive blast cleaned) and for some individuals not so familiar, may have to basically be holding them in your hand to determine for sure.

    Scott.

@Bob there is a Made in USA cast on the underside of the intake.

Hex head plugs with dot in the middle. https://www.npdlink.com/product/plug-38-npt-hex-head/167431 It doesn't have the dot like original though.  Technically the 67 did not have a PCV to the manifold from the factory. With that said the PCV will work better then then the factory configuration if you use the forward pass side plug to but a nipple in . The best nipple to use for this technical service bulletin fix is the same one as used on the GT350 non thermactor cars.  https://www.npdlink.com/product/pcv-fitting-rear/143684

Thanks Bob
U happen to have a pic of the hex plug with the dot? So I can see what it looks like.

NPD sells AMK. Here is one but without the dimple. I haven't tried it but think you could duplicate the look of the dimple in the middle with a rounded head punch and a hammer. https://www.npdlink.com/product/plug-38-npt-hex-head/167431  .FYI for those reading so that there is no confusion I have only seen the hex shape plugs on FE aluminum intakes . The 289 aluminum intakes used a different shape plug.

Sorry don't wait on me. I don't have one in my parts bin to take a picture of and all of my pictures are far enough away from the intake that you can only make out the hex shape and not the dimple. They are too low of resolution to see even when you blow it up.
