Another "short nipple" example. No way of knowing if its original to the car but the cars VIN is 7F02S2010xx which has a 41 DSO





Looks allot like (just based on the added Monte-carlo bar ;)  CandyAppleRed's pictures

The engine size decal for shown in this example. Is there anything on the market that fits properly? Found the same decal and the radius is slightly off and too wide for the ridge on the lid. Did they originally come that way?  Thanks.

Looked through my pictures and could not find any factory or from 67 pictures of the air cleaner decal your asking about. Kind of odd since this was a new engine and I thought we would find a bunch of at least preproduction and the like examples in ads and magazine articles from road test. Maybe they are out there and I've not collected them over the years.

As a side note, though it may not related to the reproductions and their current configuration it seems that Ford didn't always care - given the example of the one typically found on T birds and some San Jose examples (reply #10)
