No idea what this belongs to. From what I can tell it does not match up to the intake on RR hood inserts. Orange pinstripes, no markings I can find.

Looks like a hood "Fresh Air" airbox to me... Custom made??
 
Agree….the mystery is for what? I have found a few corvette parts and some ford stuff in the parts hoard….
 
I was going to say it's for a Pontiac Formula 400 (twin hood scoops up forward).
 
More weird stuff. Was halfway stoked when I pulled this out today as I was rummaging through another tote full of parts. Ran the number and it is all over the place. Put pics up on a Ford site and a reply said it was for a 4 speed OD in a Granada. Not saying the guy was wrong but Granada didn’t pop up anywhere I looked.

The part number shown on the shifter base is a Ford format number. The number breaks down as follows:

  • D = 1970s decade
  • 7 = Introduced in 1977
  • D = Model family: Falcon (1960-69), Maverick (1970-74), Granada (1975-82), LTD (1983-later).... With 1977 introduction, family is Granada (1975-82)
  • B = Engineering office: Overseas Product Engineering
  • "-" = separator
  • 15546 = base part number within the foregoing
  • "-" = separator
  • AA = Part revision level
The following image shows the shifter in a 302 powered 1977 Granada:

"ITM" denotes Inland Tool Machine, which was part of General Motors. Inland made some shifters for other brands including Chrysler.

NOTE: I am not a Ford person, but I have delved into their numbers before and I do like the structure and formatting that they used.
