Stock Cobra Motor Picture

[absvtford]

Hey guys - does anyone have a clear, detailed picture(s) of a stock 93 cobra motor from the top of the motor? I am looking at a picture of a motor and can tell some things are different. Would like to compare to a completely stock motor.

Also, what color were the stock distributor cap wires?

Thanks for your help

Below is a stock motor picture, the original wires would be grey and the boot ends black. If they are factory wires they will say motorcraft, be stamped with the year 1993 and be numbered to the designated cylinder.

Here is one, I also have a few more detailed pictures of sides if you need anymore. Like 408lx said about the wires.

Thanks guys.

Looking at a car that has the camber caster covers changed out (not black). What could this be indicative of? I am wondering if the car was hit in the front (although all VIN tags appear on the fenders and bumper.

I have heard that a plate which notes "cobra" comes from factory behind the front bumper of these cars, drivers side. Exact location unknown. Have you guys seen this on your cars?

the plate is about 2" by 4" and is in between the driver headlight and the radiator support, it is stapled to the radiator support.
look at photo below

Thanks 1993. Much appreciated.

Some of these cars the camber is off, with the stock setup they don't always get it adjusted correct. So most people just put an aftermarket setup on them.

Nothing against the Ford factory setup, but for much improved handling on these cars an aftermarket caster/camber setup along with some choice suspension mods is the way to go.

Was the engine oil fill cap originally black or gray on these cars?

^ that teal still has remanants of the white factory chalk on thr air inlet tube, also has the white X on the airbox, has the orig white ford sticker on the radiator and the purple dot paint on the caster camber plates, also look for the "AB" in pink on the drivers valve cover, orig alternator will say "GT" at the top, if its bone stock ever hose should say ford on it. Look for the small ford oval on every light in the front, tailights with have ford oval and the second stripe up from the bottom is the only one that does not go all the way across.

Hey, bdecoy. Did you replace that Interstate battery with a Motorcraft one yet?

[dbrennancobra]

Z I believe esco did...

Also the valve covers have original sticker. Also why does the hose above gt40 intake have black coil cover? That's not original
