67 390 air filter housing lid
« on: October 16, 2016, 01:28:20 AM »
I never noticed this difference until I had two of them side by side and realized that one of them might be for another application. Which one is correct for a 67 390 ? They both have the same top as pictured.

Probably better to ask which one is correct for a 67 S code Mustang as I believe both were used on 67 390's ;)

For your use the second (without the ring) is what you want if I recall correctly

I have seen that inner ring but not often & wonder if it had anything to do with ca. emission  or an early thing  since the 8 top side raised spokes had small flattened area where the lower ring was spotwelded to?  Don't recall seeing the lower ring on cj or b2 lids.

I think 'other Ford' too. 1967 Thunderbird comes to mind.

Thanks for the replies. It seems all to often I see parts so often and don't notice many of the little things.
