C6ZZKGT · K Code 1964 Fairlane "BabyBolt" C6ZZKGT April 21, 2011 at 12:46 AM

Early Fairlane 9 inch axle tubes are tapered but only slightly. They are not tapered nearly as much as a Mustang.

The Kar does not have an original Hipo carburetor. At best, it is a clone carburetor.

C6ZZKGT · Hipo Transmissions C6ZZKGT April 15, 2011 at 10:49 AM

The HEH-S is a narrow case for a 5 bolt block. The HEH-T is shown from August 20,1964 to October 1,1964 however there are a number of HEH-T transmissions documented on this forum that are stamped with VINs of Kars produced as late as May of 1965. The HEX-BX is basically 1966 only from what has been documented here however it could have been used in late 1965 models. The 1967 Hipo is an RUG-N, N1 or N2 transmission. The difference that I have seen between the HEH-T and the HEH-BX is that most of the HEH-T transmissions use the C4DR tailhousing that has vestiges of the Falcon shifter mounts where the HEH-BX uses the C4ZR tailhousing exclusive to Mustangs.

This Kar could really use some pictures of the undercarriage to help potential buyers. The auction lists the "correct 14 X 7 styled steel chrome wheels". The problem there is that they should be 14 X 5 instead.

This Kar is back on Ebay again:

It is interesting that the auction mentions "sway bar for K code" but it is not there. It also appears to me that the areas for the exhaust hangers on the rear floor pan have been sectioned in.

Is there any reason that you would not want an NOS Ford one? I have one if you need it.

C6ZZKGT · 1966 GT K-Code F/B C6ZZKGT April 4, 2011 at 11:08 AM

Eddie, The rebound rubber bumper mounted on the floor mounted rebound plate has nothing to do with an automatic transmission. I have observed these on a couple of original 1966 4 speed Kars as well. Every one that I have seen with the rebound bumper attached to the rebound plate also had the rebound rubber mounted on the rear end snubber as well. The problem with that is that they overlap each other slightly on contact which damages both rubber bumpers. The Hipo Kars should only have the one on the rear end snubber plate. This has to be a factory error and my theory is that being as the rear floor pan build up on a Hipo is for a GT model, which had an 8 inch rear end with the floor mounted bumper, that the assembly line installed the floor mounted bumper in error as all other regular Mustangs had it.

Charles may want to weigh in on this as well.

C6ZZKGT · k code info on a 1963 fairlane C6ZZKGT March 29, 2011 at 11:39 AM

The first automatic in a Hipo Fairlane was 1964. A lot of Fairlanes were produced in Kansas City which uses a K for the assembly plant code. I have seen a number of times where Fairlane people advertised their cars as K cars not realizing that the second digit of the VIN is the assembly plant and not the engine code.

C6ZZKGT · Spark Plug removal C6ZZKGT March 29, 2011 at 11:33 AM

I, just yesterday, encountered this plug socket interference with a reproduction left side Hipo manifold made by CAS that I am installing at the cutomers request on his K fastback that I am restoring for him. He had already bought them prior to my taking on his project or I would have sold him originals. The right side worked but the left side took a fair amount of grinding on my part to make clearance for the plug socket. My usual loosening of the bolts and moving the manifold around was not near enough to make this one work. The casting is much thicker around the exhaust port and requires a lot of work to make it useable. The grinding that I did was not that visible once installed as the spark plug and wire sort of cover the area. The manifolds actually look pretty good and are stronger than originals based on the extra material used, however the extra material is the problem in making them useable. It is easy to see the problem when you compare them to an original set. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
