I have not compared this with a part from any other original Cobra but this is the lever that was on CSX2551 when I bought it.

09/10/14 update. I consulted the foremost authority on 260/289 Ford production drivetrains and he advised me that the part shown came out for the 1965 SIX BOLT 289 Ford engine. He tells me that there are functional dimensional differences between it and the 1962-64 part specific to FIVE BOLT 260/289 engines. He recommended using the proper design with each engine design type.




A thing to think about is where do the fork tips ride on the bearing flange in use. The bearing doesn't move full length of the insert shaft cover's shank. It only moves out in the middle of the length somewhere.
