Dave,

Better check with Kevin Marti on that one. It's my understanding that all the 390GT engines in 1968 had Thermactor. Kevin has a record of all engine tag numbers installed in "S" coded vehicles, they should all be Thermactor builds.

Note that this was a 50 state requirement in 1968. In 1967 California was the only state to require Thermactor on some engines.

What's the thing laying on the rear of the intake manifold?
