Typically front/rear glass is 1-2 months before build and side glass 2-3. Seeing as how yours built near end of July I would be OK with 8g. I've had a couple late July KRs and early 8g dates are common on block, rear end etc. Side glass dates not typical but like Pete said side glass can be all over the place. Were paper watershields still in place before glass came out?

typical KR uses c8zx a for ac and c8oe c for non ac but have seen more than 1 ac cars with the c8oe c. c8oe b I've only seen on non Shelby cjs (Dearborn/sj)

Corey your build date would lean towards wire

 Cory, not to trump on George's ad but that is the mustang one as indicated by the gray painted body. The Shelby ones were black  The good news is all you have to do is paint the body black and change the adjustment and they're identical. The casting numbers are the same

Interesting. I do agree with you that they are mix-and-match and I've seen them both on both applications however the overwhelming majority of unrestored AC cars I've seen  have the short finger.  Plant thing?

I had someone call me looking for one fo these.  Im not sure Ive ever seen one on a GT350.   Maybe an AC car?

FYI technically there is a A/C  and a NON AC version of the heat shield. The one with the long finger intact was for A/C to protect the expansion valve wrap and hoses and the one with the long finger cut off or bent over was for non A/C heater motor. With that said I have seen a mixture installed regardless of if A/C or non A/C.

Think you have that reversed. Short finger is so hoses will fit
