All the Ford ones had the OECO lettering. Not sure what it means, though.

There was some debate about the Ford ones having large Ford lettering on
the pad but I answered that question for myself by looking at the old
Ford Muscle Parts catalog. The picture on page 27 looks identical to the
C90X that I have, right down to the blank pad and threaded bosses. I also
have an article about the 302 Jack Roush built for the '79 Indy Pace Car
Mustang and it shows a picture of a C90X intake that is identical to
mine, except it has raised "FORD" lettering instead of the blank pad.
It appears Ford made two different versions of the intake, with and without
Ford lettering on the pad. I've been told the Ford lettered ones had
ports that are closer in size to DOOE 351W ports but mine has 289/302
sized ports as did the Ford-lettered intake I inspected.
