Question:
Would a Marti report specifically list the thermactor system in the options list? Perhaps worded as "Exhaust Emission Control"?
If so, would it be safe to say, if a Marti report for a kar doesn't list the "Exhaust Emission Control" option, the kar did not come from the factory with one?
Bob,
Total '67K production: 489
Total Fastbacks: 319 (205 GTs, 114 GTAs)
Total Coupes: 120 (77 GTs, 43 GTAs)
Total Convertibles: 50 (34 GTs, 16 GTAs)
I got this information from Jim Chism. I believe he worked with Kevin Marti to attain these numbers.

qballll,
This thread has pictures of my rear leaf spring numbers. BTW, my car is a San Jose '67 KGT with the Competition Handling Package option.

Hope this helps!
Tom
Sweet!
Very nice photo and very nice looking car!!
Troy,
Here is a thread that discusses the differences in clone HiPo carbs and the real Karbs.

Hope this helps!

Lyle,
FYI, I used the Advanced Search, included archives, used "AMK" for the search word and selected "b9folk" as the member/author...... that's all!
Tom
Clearly doesn't look like the hide-away-headlights option box was check marked!
b9folk,
Here it is:

Rather ironic, I was the person that provided the link/response in your first request!
Hope this is what you're looking for.
Tom
I'll second that..... sounds sweet!
What are you using for an automatic trans? Are you shifting manually at 7500rpms? What kind of build on the 289? Estimated HP? What does your TR-4 weigh in at? ET? MPH at line? RPM's at line? What rear end are you using?
Tom
Jeff,
Don't leave us/me hanging, what does the "K" and the "D" stand for? 
Tom
Don't know if this will provide any help or not.
My 67 Hipo motor is on the stand; it has an assembly date of 7D25Y.
The Carter fuel pump is a 4201S with a date code of 1M6A stamped into it. I can't say if it is original or not though. I can provide pics if anyone would like to see them.
Tom
Please excuse my ignorance.
DIF??
Detroit Industrial Foundry?
Charles,
Just out of curiosity, do you know who the OEM vendor was?
Is it possible that the person, you placed your order with, gave you some incorrect information? I'm not trying to pick nits, just playing the devil's advocate!
Tom
Bo,
I sent you an email.
Tom
Bo,
I'll pose this question on another forum. I'll report back what they have to say.
Tom
Bo,
My rear leafs on my '67 KGT have an "E" on them as well; please see the "Competition Handling Package" thread for photos. Since it well known that Ford's vendor for leaf springs was Eaton, do you think the "E" could stand for Eaton? Just a thought!
Tom
Here is some more information on the "Competition" handling package that I found on the web; sorry, I don't remember the source.
"A 1967 Mustang GT with Thunderbird wire wheel covers?
In 1967, Ford offered a "Competition Handling Package" that was optional for GTs only - in which case it upgraded the regular Heavy Duty Suspension that was standard with the GT Equipment Group. This Competition Handling Package was expensive and seldom ordered. It consisted of extra stiff front and rear springs and adjustable shocks, an extra thick stabilizer bar, a 16:1 overall steering gear, a low speed rear axle (no lower numerically than 3.25:1) in a Limited Slip differential, and 6xl5-inch wheels with wire wheel covers.
The strangest part of this option was the set of wire wheel covers, which are unlike any ever seen on a Mustang. They were actually sourced from the Thunderbird line because Mustang wire wheel covers fit 14-inch rims.
Here is what I believe the Competition Handling Package wheel covers looked like. Notice the similarity between it and the '67 Shelby 15" wheel cover? IMHO, only difference is the center cap.

Well I found time to inspect the leaf springs in my San Jose '67 KGT fastback. This is what I found:
Picture #1 is the driver's side leaf spring showing the numbers C7AZ, 5556AR, 74E.
[Blocked Image: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/7071/sjdslfsprngluq4.jpg]
Picture #2 is the same spring with a little different view.

Picture #3 is the passenger's side leaf spring showing the numbers C7ZA, 5556AM, 298E6.

Picture #4 is the same spring with a different view.

Interesting situation, according to Tony's book the driver's side spring is for a fastback with a 625 pound rating. The passenger's side is for a convertible with a 665 pound rating.
I couldn't get to the Detroit KGT fastback tonight. I'll try to get to it this weekend and report then.
Tom
Charles,
I'm relatively sure that Marv is not saying that all '67 GT's came with 15" wheels. I think we have incorrectly used/interchanged some names of handling packages.
I believe that all '67 GT's came with the "special handling package" as part of the GT Equipment Group package.
I also believe that there was an option called the "Competition Suspension". What we are trying to do is define exactly what the competition suspension consisted of. Please chime in if you have knowledge about this package.
Tom
Marv,
No, I have not. Great idea! If I have time, I'll check on it tonight.
BTW, do you know what the front sway bar diameter is on a non-competition suspension "67 GT Mustang? Is it 13/16"? I'll try to measure each car's sway bar also. If they are original I would suspect that there should be a difference.
Tom
