You may be right; however.
1 The Poll questions have moved the list back to Tiger Related
information
2 The most appropriate place for the Poll would be Norm Miller's web
site; if Norm is willing.
3 Trivia can be Fun
4 I got just a few more responses than the TE/AE Poll; kind of sad.
More Trivia
Didn't you just get Bob Mannel's Book on SBF engines?
Appendix A - Engine Tags page A-6; the Ford application # on the aluminum
engine tag for the Tiger 260 engine is 510.
This # is not listed and Bob never ran across any information about that #;
I don't know what that # is for the Tiger 289.
I find these things interesting. Sorry if you do not. The delete key is
always available.

I thinks these poll would be much better accomplished on a Forum that has a
Poll option.
TEAE has a forum that is very quiet and I am sure would like the traffic.

Mail From: "Joe Brown" <(email redacted)>
Thanks for all of the replies (and photos)about my question regarding the
small Ford tag.
I'm getting a little confused about the placement of the two different tags
though. Some folks are saying the metalized tag with the engine number on
it should be on the driver's side valve cover toward the back, and others
are saying it should be toward the front on the passenger side. I'm
referring here to a LHD car.
I have a the Book of Norman and he says on page 143 that the "Rootes Ltd"
or "Sunbeam Ltd" tag with the engine number was affixed to the left rear
cover. The "Product of Ford Motor Company" decal is on the front right
cover. He goes on to say that "later cars used only the "Sunbeam Ltd" decal
which was positioned to the right front cover" and "Product of Ford Motor
Company decal on rear left cover".
So, at some point the positions of the two tags were reversed. Has someone
been keeping track of all of the replies to try and figure out when the
switch was made?
Thanks,
Joe Brown

Hi Joe,
Here is a picture of the label on a valve cover.
This is the original label for my car.
Also, on the list some are saying that the label is on the left bank toward
the rear. The covers can be placed on either side they are interchangable.
If the label cover is placed on the left bank the label will be toward the
firewall and appear to be correct. However, the stock position is on the
right bank with the label forward. I am surprised that most of these guys
don't realize their valve covers are switched. :0

P.S. Your emails are getting through.
Subject: Re: [Tigers] Valve covers
Can anyone point me to a photo of the small tag that is supposed to be on
the passenger side valve cover? I have the engine ID tag on the driver's
side and there is a small rectangular sticker toward the front of the cover
on the passenger side. But it is blank or faded away. It is just a silver
color that sort of matches the chrome valve cover.
Joe
