The PosiLocks name is a set that I have been using for over 25 years on my Hipo. The name most likely originated as something that has the same connotation as Positraction differentials as used in some rear ends. A Positraction differential differs from our Traction Locks and Equa Locks in Fords as they have ramps that force the side gears to positively lock up the clutches rather than depending on springs for preloading the clutches. PosiLocks and PolyLocks are just a brand name and not indicitive of their function as they are the same. Basically they are just a long nut with an internal set screw to hold the adjustment. They are definitely superior to the original jam nuts when using solid lifter camshafts. The Boss 302 engine uses a smaller jam nut on top of the regular jam nut to more positively lock the adjustment.

What I have are PosiLocks and not Polylocks and I have been running them for many years with stock chrome valve covers. They save me a lot of trouble with not having to adjust the valves as often.

Both of these Kars have been discussed here before. Neither Kar is restored to as they were produced and these posts show all of that. The convertible is offered at no reserve.

The 66 Fastback is as follows:

That bushing kit is only for the power cylinder where it attaches to the top. I have a lot of NOS C5ZZ 7650512 A ones as Ford serviced them for quite a while. The tough bushings are the ones where the top folds and they are different.

The reason that a 65 or 66 distributor sells for more is that they have a FoMoCo casting and are date coded correctly. The later distributors will function fine with the only problem being an Autolite or Motorcraft casting and a later date code. The early ones can be tough to locate when you need a specific date code.

Thomas, I sent you an email on this.

Steve, that was what I was afraid of. The lockout handle, cable and spring normally come with a new shift handle. It sounds to me that yours is incomplete. You might check with wherever you bought it to see if the have one that is complete. Is it possible that you ended up with a 3 speed handle by mistake?

-Fred-

In regards to the spring and handle, are you referring to the reverse lockout handle and spring or the springs and inserts where the shifter handle mounts to the main shifter assembly?

My intital understanding of the GT and luxury (pony) interior packages were that they were commemorating the first anniversary of the introduction of the Mustang.

The part number for the Weber setup from Ford was C5OZ 6B068 A. The part number from Shelby was S1CR 9423 and had a list price of $595 in the March 1, 1966 catalog. Dealer price was $400. Keep in mind that this included carburetors, all linkages and water manifold with hoses and clamps. This was a lot of money back in 1966. Shelby also offered two versions of complete racing engines at that time for $2,995 and $3,195 that included the Webers as part of the package.
