That is a very nice engine Tag. My Tag is corroded with only part of the 6
and all the 0 of 260 visible.
The build date on your Tag is 5 - K, Oct 1965 and 66 for the model year, my
Tag Date is Jan 1965, model year 65.
I believe Ford Industrial Division assembled 260 engines for some time but I
have no information about when the last 260 engine was built.
Ford attached it under the bolt that held the coil when they moved
the coil to the front of the head. You could probably place it under any
available bolt in that area; not that it really matters if you attach it at
all. It's your Tiger; place it where you like it best.

Subject: 260 engine tag and the 510 designation
Hey Ron,
Here is a tag I bought on Ebay that claimed to come from a Tiger 260. I did
not believe it but bought the tag due to the 260 scarcity these days. I was
wondering about the 510-J on it that I could not find anywhere in the Mannel
book.
Thanks so much for confirming that I have a real-deal Tiger 260 engine tag
which will go on my 260 engine.
Here is a link to a picture - http://e28-535i.com/upload/260tag.jpg
I found it very interesting that a 260 had a 1966 date code. I did not know
they made the 260 in 1966.
Here is a question, where would one attach this tag on the F4B manifold?
