That must be an '86 plate. I like the '86 HO plate as well. It looks like that plate but with HO under the 5.0

I think it is from an 86 too, way back in the day I had a brand new 86 5.0 lx mustang coupe and I swapped the upper plate to the 87 style, and for the life of me I cannot remember what I did with the stock one :hick:
 I know I would not have thrown it out because I never throw anything away
 And Thanks guys I like it because of the lack of the "EFI" too

Take some PB Blaster and soak them first and buy better quality Torx bits.

Well, I went to the Junk yard today , and I check all the fuel injected 5.0's and NONE had the plate I am using
 
 They had an 86 bird , Town Car and a Crown Vic  All had "EFI" on them.
