There are several "Tiger" intakes. All are the same as the Shelby Cobra
intakes with the name and part number changed for the Tiger. The
first is the low rise with a 1964 part number. The early variation had a
large hole at the rear for a "road draft tube", later manifolds (most)
didn't have this hole. Next was the rare Tiger high rise with a 1965
part number (S1TS 9423-A (S for Shelby, T for Tiger, 1 for 1965). There
was no "Tiger" lettered intake for 1966 to match the Cobra counterpart.
They went to the Edelbrock high rise. The early Edelbrock high rise for
all Ford products had 4 small holes for the carburetor and a small water
temp. sender hole. I believe this is the manifold which was used for the
tiger with the temp sender hole enlarged for the Tiger. Edelbrock
changed the 4 small holes to 2 oval holes and a larger temp. sender hole
probably in 1966, this would not be correct for the Tiger. In the 1980's
"Blue Thunder" made reproduction Cobra, Tiger, and Ford high rise
manifolds. I have included pictures of most of these manifolds below.
