The restorers say:
Up until 1966 - Fomoco ( in script before early 1965, in block letters after early 1965 )
1967-1971 - Autolite
1972 - Motorcraft

Also, if I recall (all my stuff is packed right now), the early 65 solenoid should have the red bakelite finish and the later version (and up) has the black.

It would seem logical they should also utilize BOTH the "I" and the "S" terminal screws. Some solenoids have only the "S" terminal screw.

I may be mistaken, but I think the single terminal solenoid that you refer to was only on the ones after they went electronic ignition. The "I" was for
ignition and allowed full voltage to the coil when cranking. Because electronic ignitions generate a spark pulse differently, it's not needed.

Thats right Woodzy, the "I" terminal for a full 12 voltage igniton source ONLY when the solenoid is actually engaged (starter turning over). No doubt the original Cobras ran this type of solenoid. Not required or wanted with electronic ignition (depending on the type).
My buddy recently purchased a nice 'hot rod 32 Ford', blown 302, old point type ignition, hard as heck to start. One day he says, "You know a lot of times it starts JUST when I let off the key and quit trying." Then it hit me, I told him check his solenoid, sure enough, he was missing the "I" terminal. He changed it out, ran a new wire and it starts right up every time now.
I think his was RED (as I recall)...

The solonoid on CSX 3288 is black with large number 2701966 on the top. (the brown bakelite is underneath the black coating). the car was sent to Shelby from AC in July 1966 and finished by January, 1967. I hope this helps. Jim
