Just got an e-mail from Liberty Classic. I ask about them making a HIPO every 6 months or so, it may have paid off.
"We will be releasing a Shelby Cobra 427 in February 2010, and possible a Shelby 289 later in 2010.
Thank you.

No word on a BOSS 302
Was on E-bay at 7K I think. ended at $200.00, reserve not met.
Can't tell if it has a fat dampner, but nothing else looks right. I'll go out on a limb and say it's not a hipo. If the guy used punctuation it would be easier to tell what he thinks he is selling.
repop fans- $100
original fan- $800 to $1000
must be a market for the original stuff.
I typed my VIN into Google and it came up with this page.

I shift at 6k
My best is 14.3 @ 100 mph

100 is very respectible. could you get in high 13's with a little more traction?
what was you mile per hour? seems like you had some wheel spin. I think you may have shorted yourself shifting so early.
Were you able to get out over the weekend, how did you do?

From what I understand, the difference is cosmetic. The base system does not have the bar that runs along the top of the muffler.

If you never find a sender that works you could try putting a resistor in line to tell the gauge the engine is colder. I don't know the ohms range off hand but doesn't the gauge go full high when the wire goes to ground? I thought maybe the ohms range would be in the book and you could get an idea of what to add to the circuit. Ford dealers used to have a gauge sending unit simulator, you could adjust the ohms on the tool and watch the gauge move around. Maybe your local dealer still has the tool.
"i plan to Drag Race the car and burn a little rubber (it wouldn't be called a HiPo for nothing )."
Be sure to post some results. What gear are you going to run, bone stock motor, etc.?
The 'performance image option' is something I knew about in the 70's, but was not sure what it was. I read someplace (a long, long time ago) that you could get the trumpets as part of that option prior to the GT. What I read may have been the same parts info Mannel refers to. My Jan 65 kar has trumpets but I have no way of knowing how they got there. I know they had to be put on by the 1st owner or the dealer if not factory. They were on the car in 68 according to the 2nd owner.
There was also a prior post that showed an E-bay auction with "ARVIN" option trumpets that had the trumpets and a pattern to cut out the valance.
Bob Mannel posted this in a previous discussion about dual exhaust.
"The April 1965 Ford Master Parts catalog was the one that listed a "Performance Image Option". The system listed was the Arvinode system with the regular H-pipe and trumpet tips. I am not sure if this was just an early name for the GT or not. Ford gave a date of 3-22-66 in its parts catalog for elimination of the Arvinode system, but a date of 4-2-65 for Metuchen and Dearborn, and 4-4-65 for San Jose in its Technical Service Bulletin Article #315. After those dates, the Arvinode front glass-pack was replaced with an oval muffler. I have not heard of a GT with the Arvinode system. Maybe someone here has. The elimination of the Arvinode and the introduction of the GT occurred about the same time.
According to the Ford parts catalog, there were many Mustang dual exhaust systems. The 289 HiPo was the first with a transverse muffler until October 64. Then the Arvinode system came out for the HiPo. There was also an option (called a "Performance Image Option") for the A-code which was the Arvinode system. The Arvinode system was dumped in favor of oval mufflers in April 1965. The GT came out duals as well. By the end of 1965 you had the 289 HiPo, GT (All A-codes), and optional duals for A-codes. HiPos had the unique H-pipe to connect to the HiPo exhaust manfolds, and the GT had the trumpet tips. Performance Image Option also shows trumpets. Looks pretty similar for 1966.
What is needed to really clear this up is a dealer options book for 1965 or 66. Must be one somewhere."
jan 65 should be arvinode.
I don't see any reason you couldn't make it work. I don't know the size of the pipes but if needed you could get a shop to bend some pipe extensions and weld to your old tips or get the modified louver version. I just had a shop make 2 extensions for me and it was $20.
If you search the Arvinode story, there were some early GT cars that had the system, and I think the TSB showed trumpets as an option. I was never sure if the trumpets were an option by themselves before the GT came out.

Welcome aboard.
I found an article online a couple years ago, think it was from Mustang Monthly, on how to fix your clock. You should be able to find it.
Mine did not work for a few years, I took it apart and cleaned it with CRC contact cleaner, then took a point file to the contacts, put it back together and it's been working for 3 years now, even after being stored with the battery disconected for the winter.
You can also replace the internals with an electronic set-up.
Drake also makes the modified version with a 2" straight pipe and wider vent openings. They are on Ebay, you can take a look. here is a link

I have a nephew that has been waiting for the perfect 65 GTO for 10 years. in the mean time, he has passed on cars that were 90% what he wanted. he could have at least been driving SOMETHING in those 10 years and sold it off when he found his dream. if that aint bad enough, 2 years ago he bought a basket case because he couldnt find what he wanted, and still has nothing to drive. I dont understand his thought process.
65 black - 66 blue
but it does have the 66 side trim, seats and dash. wonder what the VIN says.

from 2005 post by 'cobrajeff'
Let me try to clarify a few things in this discussion. I have checked the 1965-72 Ford Parts Master Catalog again, and the color code daubs are RED for C5ZZ-5310-F and BROWN for C5ZZ-5310-E. So I believe there is a typo in Mad4HiPos's note regarding the colors.
With respect to kar-nut's info from the released Engineering drawing - the part he has described has an Engineering part number of C4ZA-5310-E, and a Service part number of C5ZZ-5310-F. Note that the prefix and the suffix of the Engineering number and the Service number do not always match.
With regard to Charle's note about the springs with white stripes, here is a quote from a footnote under the Mustang front coil spring chart on page #100 of my 1965 Ford Parts and Accessories Catalog:
"The load pounds figure shown indicates the Mean load. Usually there is a variance of 30 to 50 lbs. plus or minus of the load pounds indicated in the chart. If the tested load rate is on the mean to low limits, a white stripe is shown in addition to the other identification markings."
It appears they tested the springs, and the weaker ones got white stripes in addition to their standard markings. So, it is quite possible you would see springs with white stripes, and, obviously, they would be used in pairs.
Hope this helps to clear some things up.
regards,

After 33 years of high RPM cruising, I changed my ring and pinion to a 3.50 gear set. What a joy to drive now!
All this time I thought I had 4.56's as that is what a previous owner said he installed, it turns out they were 4.11's. I debated between 3.89 and 3.50, the 3.89 would't have been much of a change. Lesson here, make sure of what you got 1st. I got lucky on this swap.
