Your car sounds sweet. Did you run against anyone during the day?

I bet you are really looking forward to my next 'quick' enquiry

I recomend you get a set of the Jim Osborn produced Mustang Assembly Manuals for your year car. Available for 1965 are: Body; Interior; Electrical; Engine: plus the 64 Weld/Sealant and Chassis manuals. To further decypher the Assembly Manuals you should get the AMK Products Guide to Ford Fasteners 1955-73. They are about 90-95 pct accurate, which is better than nothing.
Jim

I looked at his website and may try to order, but may have to phone him as he does not have email and also does not appear to have paypal.

Before I do all this. What details does the 1965 electrical assembly manual give?

Are there pictures of the underdash wireing ? or just diagrams like in the workshop manual.

I am wishing to confirm that my foglight wireing is stock, will I be able to tell from this manual ?

Thanks Jim

All kudos to you Iowa for restoring this car. It looks to be a heck of a challenge - makes great reading.

Nice quote Damon

My father in law used to make parts at Lakenheath to keep the F1-11 and then F 15 planes in the air. The Americans loved him and tried desperatly to keep him there, but he took retirement. He still whips out parts for me tho - often with very little notice, great chap.

Hi Greg

This is an area that I would like to learn more about if that is possible.

It is a long while since I pulled the instrument cluster and as I had no info on the wires I did not know what I should be looking for.

I do have a single wire in a rubber cone shape grommet coming thru the firewall next to the large plug. This then goes to a bullet connector about 3" away, then back in the loom via a black square block with a cross on it. It is for the foglights.

At the rad support the wires exit the loom via similar blocks then go to bullet connectors ,then to the lights

I do not know what I should look for inside the car and cant remember if I have a seperate fuse or other plugs.

If anyone has the answer to a factory setup under the dash and wishes to keep the knowledge limited to owners please send me a PM

Thank you.

Heres the link to the TV highlights.

I dont think the programme is up to the usual standard, two presenters who know sod all about cars, let alone historic ones. And not enough racing.

See what you think.

I do

Can get away with pics with a K car in them but am not sure about ones without ?

David

The dash stamp is 3 24 D 2.

My original enquirey was focused on the exhaust but this thread has morphed to cover a lot of the GT identifiers.

My question has been answered and I hope by giving information regarding my car specifics that I have made clear that I am not in the business of replicating.

I am as ever grateful for the help and support of this forum.

Wow is a good word.

I grew up within a stones throw of RAF Wattisham Suffolk.

I remember the English Electric Lightnings being there and those boys knew how to show off.

Standing in the cornfields as a small boy, they would take off then over where we lived stand on their tails and disappear - the ground would shake.

My partner worked at Wattisham much later when the F4's were there. They decided were going to give the civvies on base a treat and take them up. She got thru some preliminary briefings then they pulled the plug and got cold feet. The start of health and safety I guess.
