Yep. Practically the same Cobra kit (C4DZ-12050-A) had a retail price in the 1966 High Performance Catalog of.....$48.80. These were also sold over the counter by Shelby American. Their Parts and Accessories catalog lists the kit for a whole $1 more.

Is there a VIN stamped on it?

Set of 8 very rare NOS Autolite BF-42 spark plugs with the star logo. $150 OBO, price includes shipping and insurance. Please email me at dmgt350@aol.com if interested.

Thanks,

Quote from BoS

If I don't recall wrong, the M1 on originals are

pointing forward and backward respectively while the

later versions are pointing up and down. As Z.Ray says,

the bracket with 3 ears are a give away on an original as is the

casting on the brackets, 1068 and 1070. 1070 was listed as used on Falcons but I have seen many 66 Shelbys having them as well.

Bo,

I've noticed the same thing regarding the M-1 location. Also seen 66 GT350's with both 1070 and 1068 casting original rear brackets. Those with a 1070 are cast "10-70" while the 1068's have the side in the casting and use the format "1068 RH (or LH)". The 1068's are a slightly thicker bracket so presumably a little stronger.

It looks like it is an aftermarket product/instalation, but I would like to install a period correct, Ford product. Are there any that will not distract from my car, if i took it to a show?

Bob,

Traction Master changed front and rear bracket designs over the years so that should tell you if they are the 66 GT350 "period correct" style or a later style.

Dave

Steve,

My spare 6AC dated original has 13L and 18L settings and it's set at 13L. The original in my 66 has the same date and IIRC is set the same but it's been quite a while since I looked at it.

Dave

I have a very nice 5C4 dated HiPo flywheel, C3OE-6380B casting number. It doesn't look like it's ever been resurfaced. Part of the orange paint daub is still there and the Brinnel hardness mark is plainly visible. The guy I bought it from said it came from his 65 GT350 but no way to verify that.

I'd like to trade it for one in the same condition dated Jan. or Feb. 66.

Thanks,

Dave

The 65-66 GT350 valve also had a different part number which I suspect was also a different bias adjustment to account for the larger rear brakes and metallic shoes.

Price?

Echlin makes a very high quality aftermarket replacement, part number CS756. They are sold at NAPA stores here in the USA. Not sure if you can get them in Australia but maybe someone there can cross reference the number...

Bill,

I agree with Troy, post your questions on the SAAC Forum. If you end up buying 6S1739 please let us know. That number is very close to my car, 6S1757...I'd love to know the details!

Thanks and good luck,

Dave

NOS 65-66 PCV valve for all 289 engines including K-code and GT350. Ford part# C5AZ-6A666-A1, engineering number stamped on the valve body is C5AE-6A666-A. This is the very rare hex base valve with non-threaded hose connection. Includes the original AC box. Yes, AC was an OE supplier to Ford for these valves. $85, includes shipping.

The original driveshaft from my late March 66 San Jose car had a large yellow daub at the very rear.

Thanks Fred. I've seen the 2.44 inch spacer listed in the MPC, that's where the confusion starts. Bob Mannel's SBF book doesn't list a 2.44 inch spacer for any 67 Mustang application, the closest being 2.74" (with or w/o T/E) or 2.18 (with A/C) and does not show a HiPo specific spacer like 65-66. It does list the 66 Fairlane hang on A/C spacer as 2.42"

Thanks,

Dave

Looking for info on the 67 K-code/GT350 fan spacer, some confusing info out there....

What is the correct total length including pilot?

Are there several correct lengths depending on engine options or only one?

The 65-66 spacer is HiPo specific, is this the same for the 67 spacer(s) or is it also used in non-HiPo applications?

Thanks!

Dave

Fred is absolutely correct, his info matches what I posted earlier as referenced in Bob Mannel's book. Bob even makes note that fuel pump dating (day, month, year) is different from the more typical year, month, day format. I have two original fuel pumps. One is an original 66 4193S CARbureTER casting that was restored by Fred and has a 14A6A date code. The other is a NOS 4201S CARTER casting with a 22A9A date. The day, month, year format is the only one that makes sense. Also, according to Bob's book this format was started in 1965 and used at least through 1969.

Dave

According to Bob Mannel's SBF book fuel pumps used a day, month, and year format (pg. 5-25) making this a 1969 pump. It codes for March 5th, 1969, 2nd shift (?).

5 = 5th day

C = March (3rd month)

9 = 1969

B = 2nd shift (?)

Does the body have CARTER or CARbureTER cast in it?

Interesting topic. I also have never seen the choke cable mounted anywhere except by the LH kick panel. I have one period mag article (Aug. 66 M/T) showing it mounted in that location on the supercharged 66 GT350, can't quite make that area out on the stock GT350 but it doesn't appear to be under the ignition switch.

Hi Bo,

Well, you could always trade 5S275 for a later car to match the 3939S!
