Below is a correct Cobra Jet intake. The date code shows 8H15 which is August 15th 1968 and part number is C8OE-9425-C. This intake is 98% visually correct for a 68.5 and early 69 Cobra Jet Mustang. There is a later version which is 98% the same but with one obvious difference. On a later intake (within a few months of this date code and later) there will be a raised portion of metal in the 90 degree bend of that intake behind the carb. I have included a picture of the raised part from a later intake (photo from the 428CJ site). There is tape on the top of the intake because I was painting it.
