It is a pity the drivetrain has been separated from its Kar!

The K coupe is now up for sale.

Hi, has anyone seen the videos Peterson Restorations has done recently about a 66 GT350 restoration he is undertaking?

The car is a CJ Pony Parts car and was on display in their showroom.

They have acquired a 65 K code coupe for the drive train to be used in the GT350.

The coupe is getting restored as well .

Cheers Eddie

Hi Kevin,

Great idea, maybe photo's, location, condition, modifications, how original, what parts are missing and need to be located for the Kar, how long you have owned it.

Cheers for putting this idea out for us to see and have input in.

Thanks Eddie

Hi, wheel nuts finally arrived. A bit longer overall than the ones on the car and seem to be a tighter fit. Perhaps the chrome finish on the threads? They will do the job.

Hi, does anyone know if California Pony Cars p/n WHE-656-163 will fit or of a place where I can obtain new lug nuts to suit the 10 spoke wheels. I believe my set to be original Shelby wheels

Jump to about 1.06 they show an open wheeler when jacked up the rear wheels spin in opposite directions to each other. In an LSD rear end both rear wheels would move in the same direction i.e both forward or both backwards dependant upon the direction you are turning the rear wheel.

Great work, a very nice looking motor.

G'day Fred, here it is.

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
