Spring Perches 69 BOSS 302
« on: June 16, 2020, 11:49:30 AM »
Hello all, I was curious if anyone knew the date that FORD went from the block script to the oval on the perches. Here is a reference from Marcus suspension guide. My car is an May 23 built BOSS 302

Thank you

Philip

As Marcus indicated it is only a guesstimate given there is no documentation other then observations by our peers at this point in time. Your date is right in a change over point . I would error on the side of caution and try to use the harder to find Fomoco in the rectangle trademark all other things being equal. FYI worse case scenario this kind of nuance difference is not relevant in MCA trailered concours deduction determinations.Just my opinion others may have different.
