On a related note, I picked up a 5 bolt Wedge Co. scattershield that is identical to the COBRA unit in an old Ford Performance Parts catalog from 64. Except mine doesn't have COBRA cast into the top like the picture. Mine has Wedge and NHRA APP cast into it like the COBRA unit. Do you know if this came on a Cobra? Or would this fall into the over the counter part category?

Thanks again,

The WEDGE bell housing your talking about was over the counter speed shop sold and not Ford sold.Ford only sold the Cobra stuff but alot of the bell housing were made for racing and because of the early 5 bolt look alike.
