I bought a 37-39 style intake at a swap meet earlier this year. It looks typical of Ford's factory intake except it has a large S in a circle on top of the runner in front of the carb area. The only other unusual feature is a casting date on the bottom "7-25-47". Does anyone know why the S is on top?
Thanks,
Fred

Typically, a raised letter, numeral, etc. signifies (IE) the manufacturer, date, mold ID. My guess in this case is this was produced outside of the Ford Motor CO. as a service replacement part. obviously in 1947.
