G'day Fred, here it is.

1966 Ford Mustang Fastback GT Export

€62,500.00
Exceptional Ford Mustang Fastback 1966 GT export code K. History: 3rd hand, the last owner kept it for 32 years. 1965 code A 
engine (correct period) rebuilt with balanced crankshaft and   flywheel.
Code K exhaust manifolds. 4 mechanical gearbox and self-locking differential.

I changed the last word to differential as I don't think the   French was correct, I used Google translate.

Regards Eddie

Welcome, your Kar looks very nice.

No worries, I live near the Paradise interchange.

I hope this helps you.

p.s are you still in the Magill area?

Hi, I installed a lower shifter (repop) boot onto my toploader shifter on my Kar.

When I put the shifter into 1st gear it feels and looks like the shifter arm is jamming the boot between the lever and the gearbox housing. I had trouble finding any suitable pictures before I installed it.

Should I cut the piece out or space the shifter away from the housing or maybe it is installed wrong . The levers are placed in what appears to be the correct holes before I installed it. sorry no pictures yet. I also got another lower boot as the one I installed looked slightly mishaped.

Thanks in advance Eddie

Hi, please see my question to VA Mustang and the response from the always helpful Michelle,

Hi, I have a September 65 build (Metuchen) 1966 fastback. I am interested in replacing the under dash wiring loom with P/N WG-194. Is this the early or late harness for a 66 and which 4 way flasher switch fits their loom and if it takes the stand alone switch, (C6AZ 13A350 D)?

Regards Eddie

*********

Eddie,

WG194 is for the later 66 models. Therefore it should take the stand alone switch (IN497).

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Michelle Comer

Thank you Fred for your time and information.

I will ask and post the reply from VA mustang.

Hi, I have been have issues for a fair while with my Car being hard to start. It appears to be from the dash and engine bay harnesses being butchered before I got the car. Part of the engine bay loom has been bypassed and it runs with a non resistor ignition coil. I can find the bad connections and repair them but I feel a new loom is in order. I have already got the starting loom engine bay harness from VA Mustang and that was when I realised that part of the harness has been bypassed directly from the dash loom. My Car is a September 65 build factory GT 1966 Kar. Is there any issues with replacing the dash loom with one from VA Mustang with the rear harness in the car or will I need to replace this as well?

Cheers Eddie

Hi, Fastback 66 red on red meant to be an auto but 4 speed

Hi Chuck, email sent.

Hi, would you be willing to post a set to Australia via USPS?

Thanks

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Indeed it has been a troubling year for all.

We have had a better time than most in Australia and New Zealand but we are well aware of the situation many have found themselves in many countries.

May 2021 be a year when things start getting better for all.

Stay safe.

Thank you Fred

Hi, I am looking to rebuild my heads next year. Is ARP 134-7104 https://arp-bolts.com/kits/arpkit-detail.php?RecordID=317

the correct ones to use.

I am aware that either guide plates or to chamfer the original stud holes is required to prevent the bosses from cracking.

Thanks in advance Eddie
