I had this same problem a couple of weeks back, the spark plug socket would not fit on the spark plugs in no. 3 and 4 cylinders because the exhaust manifold was too far forward. I loosened the manifold and "persuaded" it to move to the rear using two sockets on the plugs as a gauge. It's reasuring to find that this is not an uncommon problem and my solution was correct.

I wonder what parts 1 thru 11 are?

When posting on a forum, texting or e-mailing...… do you drop the use of capital letters?
If so, please remember this expression of the "art" of capitalization: The reason you took English grammar in school.
“Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.”
Punctuation also helps -

Don't forget to include the weight penalty - 
The original lower hoses had a spring to keep the hose from colapsing. Later replacemet hoses were made stronger and deemed not to need that additional internal support, so the spring was eliminated (parts left off are not subject to failure). Current reproduction hoses may or may not have the spring, but I salvaged a couple a while back and reused them if and when in the new lower hose.

It's possible, but who will admit to it?
The alternator spacer on 1966 Mustangs has a finish known as alodine, anodize, chromate conversion or yellow iridite. Think of it as a plating for aluminum, a similar process as zinc for steel. The 65 spacer finish is most likely a barrel tumbled black zinc, or some simple dip (hot oil?).

Matt,
I just sent an e-mail to your "juno" address about the frames.

No statistics exist today as to body style vs engine type including HP for 1964 thru 1966 Mustangs. All assembly line documents were destroyed by Ford. The only number for HP engines in those years was for total produced and that was a marketing figure.

The required wavy washers are 1.063 inch inside diameter, 1.750 inch outside diameter, 0.017 inch thick and are multiple wave. The substitute is 1.010 in id, 1.692in od, 0.020 in thk, all dimensions with-in reason. One is needed for each top loaded shifter at the outer end of the slider shaft. I needed three for three different shifters, sold off two to others (I got $15 of my original cost back), and have 5 left over. The ones Brant sells are for the shifter arms on all AT and MT (different quantities) transmissions and fit a 5/16 inch dia shaft to the appropiate arm on the transmission. The kits are $20 each and I needed three, $60 total, but did not need any of the other kit items. Simple, no?

Sorry, Grainger 6ZA15, it's a pack of 10 for $19.95.

Ah, ye of little faith - wavy washers are in my hand, and they fit. I ordered them yesterday and picked them this morning from Grainger (overnight from the local central warehouse).
I prefer to do as much Mustang (Shelby too) restoration as I can myself so the quality of work of certain vendors was not in question, only the price. I had a need for three, and after I related this tale to others, I sold off two more washers. Apparently I'm not alone in the "do it yourself" circle.
Back to Grainger, I used their on-line catalog to select some other restoration items, rivets used in 64-66 console ashtray, rivets used in the dash ashtray and o-rings used on the button for the outside door handle. I just got six of the original buttons rechromed (yes, there is a difference from reproduction) so I am ready for assembly.
Jim
Grainger - good call. There's a store about 3 miles from me. The web site has an acceptable substitute washer, a smaller OD by 0.060 in, in a 10 pack for $20.00.
Thanks,
Jim
I got two new c-clips and springs thru other sources and needed only the washers. I simply stated that the "kit" approach was not to my liking. It's the capitalist way, and as a capitalist (both as an employee and as a business owner), I understand completely but dissagree with that particular approach. It's the laws of supply and demand, with a twist.
Jim
I sent off an e-mail to whom I assume is Bill Heeley after I found some references to shifters on e-bay ( fordshifterinfo@verizon.net ) and the reply was a bit disheartening as they sell the wavy washer as part of a kit (spring, washers and interlock). All I need is the washer. I'm being a bit critical, but a business in this case exists to sell and to sell what a customer wants and/or needs. The kit sounds like a bit of overkill for me and I don't want to throw away stuff I'm not going to use. The local hardware stores (Orchard Supply Hardware in California) don't carry anything that large in diameter so my customer will have to make do with a used item. I'm still looking.

What does the speedometer have to do with miles per gallon? It's the odometer that counts, and again, I use my GPS to see what the actual mileage is. The GPS unit also tells me how fast I'm going so I can verify that I'm speeding.

I'm working from some notes I made just after Moses parted the Red Sea so bear with me.
The 65 condenser that attaches to the alternator has a center mounting bracket/tab and is hard to find.
The 66 and on that attaches to the regulator has an end mounting bracket/tab. That's the physical difference, maybe. P/n and markings are all on the end: 65 type - C5TA-18832-A, 648 in an oval , not sure about other markings; 66 type - C3SA-18832-A, 648 in an oval, no other marking; C6OA-18832-A, 648 in an oval and "FOMOCO" in an oval, or "AUTOLITE" in several different fonts and type sizes preceeded by an Autolite logo (a circle with spikes at 9, 12 and 3 o'clock). The 648 is the supplier's model number. Simple, no?
Jim
I found another p/n for the 65 application, C5AZ-18827-A, 913 on the end and FOMOCO in an oval. This is for the center mount type.
The service replacements for 66 on are C6OZ-18832-A and D5AZ-18832-A as of 5-75. Those last two p/n's will be the box marking, there's no telling what will be marked on the part.
I need either parts or a source for the large wavy washer used in the manual transmission shifter, p/n 379575-S. It is 1.063in ID, 1.750in OD, 0.017in T. Ref Ford Car Part Ill section 73, pg 4. I need three. it is not listed in AMK Products literature.
