I had bought one for my 85.5 a couple of years ago from LMR, along with an emissions decal.
Daniel Carpenter does make a reproduction of the later style coil cover and Osborne makes a decal. While these two options will serve the purpose, they are not correct to the original style for the SVO's. I believe the reproduction coil cover is for '92 and up (MPN F2ZZ-14088). There is another version from '87 up to the DC version. One is on eBay right now engineering number E7ZB-14A088-AC. I think it looks closer to the original style than the repo part.
I actually spoke to Daniel at the SVO Reunion (Foxtoberfest) about the coil cover differences and need for the earlier version for our cars. While he is an SVO fan, he also knows the limited market.
It all comes down to what you are trying to achieve with your car. No right or wrong answer here.

Were you able to locate the one you mentioned earlier?
Yep, If you're not looking for NOS, repops abound on just about every vendor. Which are all made by Carpenter. You may even luck out at the boneyard. While I don't have to have one, I usually take a peek at any foxes for that or one of the plastic wiper motor covers.
Didn't realize that they are widely available from Daniel Carpenter. The 84 is a little different than the 85-86, but not concerned about it. Thanks for all the help!
