Patrick, This is not meant to be confrontational but merely informative. I will agree that there are some exceptions to VIN stamps on Hipo 289 engines. I even had a 65 Hipo Fairlane that was VIN stamped. I also had a 66 Hipo T5 GT convertible that was not VIN stamped. My only point is that just because a car was of an early build date does not mean that it was not VIN stamped. I have a first week of 64 1/2 Hipo production engine that has both the VIN stamp and the early Hipo unique 4 digit number on the boss above the clutch equalizer bar pivot mounting hole.

The light lead plugs into a triple female plug hanging near the heater controls. The wire will be blue with a red tracer as it is on the same circuit as the dash lights. That plug will generally be empty depending on vehicle options. The Rally Pac lights attach to that same triple plug if you have a Rally Pac. The diagram below shows the light if you look above the radio picture to where the Rally Pac loom connects. There is a light symbol that is marked as the radio light.

The second wire on the radio is for the light.

The date code is June 3, 1968. With that date code it would also fit a 68 GT350. The CARbureTER Made in USA casting seems to have ended in 1967 and replaced by CARTER after that with some of the CARbureTER Made in Canada found once in a while through 1971.

Phil, That VIN is for an Atlanta built full size 64 Ford 2 door hardtop with a 300 horsepower 390. I am very surprised that a combination of that type would have received a VIN stamp.

The only high performance Mustang that used a T10 was a Shelby. They had a special gear set for them alone. The only other high performance 289 T10 transmissions were in 63-65 Fairlanes and they had their own special gear set. Even then, 64 and 65 high performance Fairlanes could have either a T10 or a Ford 4 speed with no known reason for which was used.

Yes Dave, the starters are the same as Ford did not change them.

Ford changed the number of flywheel teeth as they felt that the pitch with less teeth on the flywheel matched the starter better. The flywheel teeth were found to have a longer life with less of them. That would effectively make each tooth just slightly thicker as well. The starters were not changed.

The original flywheels had 160 teeth and the replacement flywheels and ring gears have 157 teeth.

School is now in session.
The actual application for this muffler is somewhat obscure and one needs to really carefully read the Ford MPC to fully grasp what it says. This is a muffler for the Ford factory available dual exhaust kit with a part number of C5ZZ 5210 A. This kit consisted of pipes and these mufflers to convert Mustangs with single exhaust to dual exhaust. This was never a factory installed system and it was only available over the parts counter. These mufflers were available for quite a while through the Ford parts system and were easily confused as being replacements for factory installed dual exhaust. You needed to look at the physical description that gives measurements to really see what you were getting. I myself made the mistake of ordering these as replacements for the factory installed systems back in the day. It wasn't until I received them that I looked up the physical description to see what I had done wrong. That was when I checked the foot notes on the page that said that this was part of the dual exhaust kit. There are a number of these mufflers floating around these days and I have several of them myself.-Fred-
