In my stash of FI parts I found a stamped 65 FI plenum that I haven't seen in many years.
5104616. Tag reads 7017380 #2550. Yesterdays junk is todays gold. You have heard that one before. Well now it's true.
Condition of plenum: Passenger side is 100% perfect.
Drivers side has 4 welds. Two on each leg. But it's not so bad that a pile of cash and a good craftsmen couldn't make it show worthy.
Jim Gessner send me a long list of history of ownership on the car this FI plenum came from.
I didn't play detective and make any calls yet. If any of you know of this car or possibly own it you know how to reach me. Thanks, John D
Story: This plenum has the serial number or parts of it stamped twice. The 1st attempt by the worker was to stamp it on the usual boss below the distributor vacuum advance fitting. All he managed was
4616. And the 4 is barely visible.
So then his 2nd attempt was behind this boss near the RR corner where it is hit like it belongs in a museum of art. Nice 5104616 that would make a judge suspicious except this plenum didn't come from any show car.
