I'd be interested as well.

...I wish to publicly thank everyone for their faith in me in getting this task completed. I have had a good run with these and I am happy that I could pull it off...

Fred, the thanks goes to you! Without your efforts this likely would have never happened. Your attention to detail and not settling for an inferior dissasembly/reassembly process is much appreciated.

Thanks again!

Dave

I bought one from Virginia Mustang so I'd bet most of the major suppliers have them.

Yep, Charles is right. Besides the part# you can tell by the small diameter of the hose connection nipple.

That's what I've always thought too. Looks like there's also ample clearance between the chain and the hatchet in the first pic.

Gary, do you have anymore details on this setup?

Looks like a double roller to me.

Thanks for the replies guys, Bo sent you an email.

Thanks!

Dave

I'm looking for one NOS BF-32 spark plug with the "star" logo to complete a set. If anyone has a single they'd be willing to part with please let me know.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Bo,

My crimp seperated from the main rubber sleeve so a pic of it wouldn't be very helpful I'm afraid, I was lucky to find it. I'm sure others here will have better pics. In the meantime, as Paul mentioned above, the same crimp is used on the heater control cables and can be easily seen under the dash. Although if you're like me, crawling under the dash seems a lot harder than it used to be.

Your July '65 car should have a crimped handle ratcheting lug wrench. The jack would be the typical flip top.

I've seen several different styles of the flip top jack regarding the end nut the adjustment bolt screws into. Wondering if different styles are more correct for different years.

Thanks Dave. Fortunately the original crimp is still there so I think I can carefully pry it back and reinstall.

I'm restoring my original HiPo choke cable and the rubber sleeve is shot. Anyone know where to get the correct size rubber tubing? I called Scott Drake but they don't sell it seperately and of course wouldn't tell me the source for their repops.

Thanks,

Dave

FWIW, when I rebuilt my original linkage I used slightly thicker wave washers purchased at a local hardware store. It tightened up the linkage significantly reducing most of the slop.

You got mine....

You might want to post this on the SAAC forum...

Last time I checked this was still available from Ford. Ford Part# C9PZ-8620-GMA, Motorcraft# JB-414-L1. The markings won't be correct for concours but it is the correct replacement belt.

Dave, I really do not remember the color for sure but I believe that it was white. It had California manufactureres license plates on it that were issued to Shelby. I do not remember it having a GT350S stripe but it might have. I do remember the guy making sure that I saw under the hood to see Shelbys newest creation.

Thanks for the info Fred. The first 66 Paxton car (prototype) was 6S051 but I don't think it was ever tested by the mags. It was also the first 66 GT350 painted a color other than white (green) and the only car to get the "G.T. 350 S" side stripes. Since the car you raced was being drived by a guy from Hot Rod I bet it was the same car that made the magazine rounds, I have several articles on that car. Don't recall the Shelby VIN but it was likely the first production car after 6S051. IIRC it had an auto trans.

Dave

Just read the article, well done Murf!!!!

Fred,

Great story. Was that the green car, 6S051, with the "GT 350 S" side stripe?

Repop coils are evil...

Yikes, guess I better make one worthless post then just so my post total isn't at 666 anymore.
