Next segment. At this point the film shows to workers installing the aluminum intake with Autolite 4100 installed. As a reminder this film is one great opportunity to see what SA was doing on this particular day. We have to look to other resources to determine (if we can) what may have taken place in the months prior or the ones after these films were taken.
Lots of details just choose some to point out. Some may seem basic and obvious for many of you but remember we have allot of viewers that might not have the as many years as some of us in the hobby and just want to learn so pointing our some of them as I go through the stills
I1- Prepared intake with carb, temperature sender, vacuum fittings and thermostat housing install and sitting
on a fender cover ready to be installed. You can clearly see that the thermostat housing is the painted one from the original cast iron intake with the factory masked off necks as done at the Ford engine plant.
I2- Distributor cap and spark plug wires removed the worker on the driver's side of the car tilts the intake so he can slip it under the distributor. In later pictures you can see that the rotor is set so its facing directly forward. On purpose for a purpose?
I3- Red arrow - Heater hoses
Purple arrow - Another look at the painted housing and masked/bare hose necks
Dark Blue arrow - New light colored intake gasket
White arrow - Chrome valve covers still in place
Lavender arrow - Looks like the fuel line disconnected at the top end and pulled out of the way at this point
I4- Moving the intake into its resting point
I5- Yellow arrow - Cardboard box with dist cap and wires (maybe more small items) sits on the cowl and propped up by the windshield
Orange arrow - A couple of shop rags placed under the box to protect the cowl paint
Lavender arrow - Machined surfaces contrast against the fresh cast look of the main body of the COBRA intake. Can't make out in the film where the FIRING ORDER is located on the intake : (
