The transmission tag is not an original, the alternator is a later version and it has standard, non Hipo, 65 engine mount assemblies.

C6ZZKGT · Removing Tower style hose clamps C6ZZKGT January 12, 2011 at 9:41 AM

You can get them loose by using a 1/4" drive 3/8" Craftsman deep socket, as it has no inside shoulder, over the bolt and collapsing the tower with the socket and a hammer. I am sure that there are other sockets other than a Craftsman that do not have the inside shoulder. If you do not have a socket, tapping the sides of the tower down with a screwdiver and hammer will also work. Of course, anything that a hammer can't fix, a hacksaw will.

In regards to the question regarding whether I advertise this service, no, I do not. It is just from people on the forums and their word of mouth to other people. I do not advertise because it already is quite a job and this is not all that I do in life. I took it on as a challenge and I enjoy it for that reason. I have done well over 300 of these crimped type pumps so far. I wish to thank everyone for their positive input on all of this. That makes it all worthwhile.

Power steering was available as an over the counter kit or dealer installed, just not factory installed.

I personally inspected this car today. It does have all 3 VIN stamps. I am still going through my analysis of my findings and I will post more of them when I have totally thought them through. The simple things to know is for one that the seller is not in any way trying to misrepresent the car. He is just now learning what he has. As far as I can tell, this car is stamped as a "K" but was built as a "C" or "A" code car from day one. It has provisions in the frame rails for the crossflow muffler system. It does not have reinforecements under the rear seat. It does not have the under seat muffler hanger stud plates. It has never had rear tail pipe hangers. The standard single exhaust rear brake line is in the single exhaust position and it has an 8 inch snubber plate over the 8 inch rear end. There is no choke cable hole in the firewall. It was getting late and I forgot to look for a clutch pedal rod hole. I have other items that I am analyzing as well. I have seen a "K" code car stamped as a "T" code and there have been other examples of wrongly stamped cars on this forum.

Thank you for all of your hard work, Hank. I know that this has been a frustrating project for you.

Charles, The Galaxie one is slightly different than the Mustang/Fairlane pulley. It is the same diameter as the Mustang/Fairlane pulley. The Galaxie takes one stamped with an FAP-A and it is a slightly different offset from the generator than the C3OF-B that is used on the Mustang/Fairlane application. The Galaxie one appears slightly different as well. I, like Gene, have seen a repro of the Mustang/Fairlane pulley on Ebay but it has been a while. As I recall they were machined from aluminum or possibly steel but they were not stamped out like the originals. I, like Charles, also saw the Galaxie repro pulley on Ebay.

The seller states that the Hipo engine and trans are gone. It now has an 8 inch rear end as well.

C6ZZKGT · Wondering if I should sell my Kar? C6ZZKGT January 9, 2011 at 7:38 PM

I guess that you can never really have too many cars. I would just figure out a way to have both of them. Of course this come from a guy who has 11 cars of which 3 are Hipo Mustangs.

I am now gathering pumps for a seventh rebuilding run. I will keep doing these as long as I am able to do them. I completed three runs last year. Please contact me if you have interest in this.

C6ZZKGT · 260 vs 289 ID C6ZZKGT January 7, 2011 at 12:44 AM

Ray, You can use a mirror and a flashlight if you are flexibly challenged.

C6ZZKGT · 260 vs 289 ID C6ZZKGT January 6, 2011 at 11:25 PM

Ray, This will be much easier than you planned. All that you need is the block casting number above the starter. The 260 and 289 casting numbers are different. If you post them on here or email me, I will confirm what you have.

Dave, The inner and outer gaskets for the cast iron pump are the same thickness but are cut differently around the water port and upper edge. They are not interchangeable.

C6ZZKGT · Iowa's 5F09K project C6ZZKGT January 6, 2011 at 12:36 PM

Dave, In response for the need for two gaskets, yes, it will need two gaskets and they are both different.
