Good catch. The old wives' tale that "all 427 Cobras came with a side oiler" is my pick for the most-repeated lie about Cobras.
The truth is that a few more than 300 427 Cobras were made, and that the mix of engines was roughly 1/3 center oilers, 1/3 428 PIs, and 1/3 side oilers. So that 428 or center oiler is just as correct as the hallowed side oiler.
