Not to hijack this thread but along the same lines....
Guys that run Mobil 1 in non-daily driver Kars:
What is your oil change interval? I'm putting in less than 500mi/year. I don't want to lose protection but at the same time don't want to spend more on synthetic motor oil than i need to...

Final bid: $49,200 (Reserve Not Met)
Fred, what's the give-away on the removed valve cover photo? I see year, casting date, and screw in studs but it looked like the LHS head had an (upside down) 16 in the pic with the cover on. Can't a non-HiPo Head be modded for screw in studs? Also, the double dot 289 marking is not visible... forgive my ignorance.
P.S. thanks a million for the excellent job on my fuel pump!!
Current bid has gone over 37K. Not a single pic of the engine bay. Nor are there pics of the block and trans VIN stamps or the door data plate that he says are all original.
Heads don't look like they're 19, 20, 21 (LHS at least).
Using worm gear hose clamps thruout.

Does anybody have the published values for the bolts attaching the fuel pump to the block? Pump is installed but I've been unsuccessful finding numbers anywhere and need to put the Kar on the road this weekend.
P.S. Thank you Fred for the wonderful restoration job on my 4201S fuel pump! Huzzah!! <img src=images/icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
Piggybacking on this topic:
I'm searching for a rear pair of vintage Koni 1327's. Anybody out there have a set they're willing to part with?

Some nice cars but K-wise I was a bit underwhelmed. A couple K cars here and there. Anybody catch the VIN on the burgundy K convertible? The owner said that he bought it last year at auction from where.... he didn't know. Didn't have the heart to ask him what he payed but be seemed to indicate it was a substantial sum. Interesting price point for a car that started off ivy green and most prob non-GT/non pony.
Good to see Carroll in the flesh tho.... <img src=images/icon_smile_8ball.gif border=0 align=middle>

Jim and Fred,
Thanks for the tips. Easy deal. Parts are off for refinishing.
Geoff
Thanks Fred,
Looks like way to remove the bar (after removing springs/linkages top and bottom) is to loose the bolts holding the outer mount bracket to the torque box, correct?
I am in the process of removing my Tri-Y headers for bead blasting and refinishing. I was able to remove the RHS header easily. The LHS though is trapped between the motor mount, wheel well, Z-Bar pivot, and oil pan. After looking at that long list of clashing items it seems like the easiest way to get it out would be to take down the Z-Bar. Is this a simple remove/reinstall or will removing the Z-Bar throw my clutch out of rig?
Fred,
Do you know how many months out the fuel pump date can lag behind the vehicle build date? Build date on my Kar is May 20, 1966. Too late for this pump?
Much thanks,
Geoff
Misplaced fender badging, exhaust trumpet excessive protrusion, Night WATCH Blue????<i></i>
"Most...correct K code"?? My B.S. detector is blaring.... and we haven't even seen pics of the important stuff.

Listing doesn't mention it's a K but VIN does. Lots of incorrect items for a '65....
