The term CONVOY is referring to the truck that delivers multiple cars to the dealers and the truck would utilize the tie downs.

Mark, If your Kar is a Metucheon built unit, the build sheet may be taped to the main wire loom behind the instrument cluster. That would be a good time to inspect the dash metal for the rolled indentation for the GT instrument cluster in a standard interior GT Kar. The rolled indentation is an even better clarification on a standard interior as the pony interiors had the indentation even if they were not a GT.

Welcome to the site, Cleve. It sounds like you have yourself a great Kar. Is it a 4 speed or an automatic?

Steve, The switch that is in the valve is merely a warning switch for when the brake system becomes unbalanced as in a leak or other problem on either the front or rear brakes. This switch normally has no pressure or fluid behind it unless the seals in the valve are leaking. I have sold many of these switches, back in the day, to people who were convinced that the switch was leaking. The switch, of course, did not fix their problem as it will not hold any pressure. I would just leave the switch in the valve as it will not hurt anything. If you decide to eliminate the switch keep in mind that it does not use pipe threads so to replace the switch and make it look neat you would need to use something like an allen head screw with the proper thread.

Here is a Kar on Ebay that is built more for performance and looks. It has a 347 cubic inch engine and many deviations from original on the body. The seller is not trying to claim number matching but just restored. I could swear that I have seen this Kar on the site before as it is now being relisted however I could not find it in previous posts. Maybe somebody else knows where it is posted here.

Chuck, The indexing tab for the rear pipes is in a 90 degree different position on the side on 64 1/2 style H pipes
rather than on the bottom like the later H pipes.

It would be unusual, as far as I have seen, for a 66 California car to have been built in Dearborn but it appears that you may have seen one. The DSO would need to be 71 or 72 most likely. Did you catch that on the tag?

Alex, I almost bought an original 64 Fairlane with a Hipo and original C4 with a radio delete so I have seen at least one. The part number for the Hipo flex plate is a C4OZ 6375 E which gives some credence to the 64 Fairlane Hipo C4. The reason that I did not buy the car is that I already had a 65 Fairlane with a Hipo C4 and I did not want another automatic as I am a 4 speed kind of guy.

The discussion about these sequential numbers has come up under a K Mustang post and it seems to me that it would need best be continued in this more proper part of the forum.
I actually have a first week of 1964 1/2 Mustang production 5 bolt Hipo short block that has both the Ford VIN stamped on the passenger side and the Hipo sequential number stamped on the left side boss. The sequential VIN is also painted on the rear of the block in the bellhousing area.

Robert, I just sent you a PM regarding your fuel pump restoration.

Bob, There is some discussion of the Hipo sequential number and a picture of one in the link below. Yours will be a 4 digit number unlike the 3 digit one in the picture:

Yes, they did originally have a drain.
