OK, I will show my lack of knowledge! Just exactly what is a 60 gloss finish? Please help me understand about the color and/or sheen of the E-coat black finish.
Go look at the bolted on parts(brackets etc.)that are painted black on your every day late model car, those black painted parts are most likely eCoated.
-
Yeah, that's the way it was done followed by a power wash of the engine compartment.
-
The E-Coat process has been around for many years.
I don't know what paint was used for the engine compartment. I suggest having an original car scanned at your local automotive paint store for the correct shade of black.
-
I don't know if that type of paint is available over the counter. To achieve the OE look you will have to find a company in your area that can electrocoat/E-Coat automotive parts. Ford & all the others still have parts E-Coated for corrosion protection. Google the spec, & E-Coat for more information.
Automotive finishing materials have changed over the years due to environmental & health concerns. I believe e-coat paint is now a water borne material.
-
Most bolt on painted black components were E-Coated Ford paint spec. ESE-M2P10-A. Some pulleys call for a black rubber resin coating ESE-M99J252-A, no paint/coating in the belt grooves.

Until we can find more evidence, you are correct that the rules ought to be revised to allow either one. There have been a lot of 65 and 66 Unrestored cars found with the "tang" version clamps, so the drawing may not be as clear cut as Jeff indicated. I know you're probably tired of me saying it, but if we can find a blueprint for the clamp, it might give us more accurate information.
WOW, that's a welcome change in attitude. See my first post Bob Perkin's has a copy of the drawing I gave to him a coulpe years ago when you changed the MCA rules.

Yes, there is no doubt about that.
It appears the MCA rules need to be revised.
Battery Carrier: Semi-gloss black with appropriate attaching parts. Hold down clamp mounted correctly, groove fits in carrier, centering tab present. Mounting bolt and nut – natural. ....3 Workmanship, condition and cleanliness.
Quote from CharlesTurnerThe question I posed was whether or not the 9/64 drawing that you referred to was moving from the very early style clamp to the one we commonly see with the tang. I have seen many examples of cars built way past the 9/64 date with a tang 24F hold-down.
Please read my first post.
The drawing shows an engineering change dated 9-4-64 removed the locating tab.
You call it a tang, I called it a locating tab, it appears MCA rules call it a centering tab.
Again the change date on the drawing is when the drawing was changed and has nothing to do with when a change goes into or out of production.
-
The Ford document provides support that Ford manufactured clamps with & without a locating tab/tang.
-
The Ford drawing provides support for both clamps.

Bob Perkins technical advisor to MCA has a copy of the Ford engineering drawing for this part. The drawing shows an engineering change dated 9-4-64 removed the locating tab.

You might have a bad ground. Try running a ground wire from the back of the gage cluster to a good ground.

I have an NOS one from an old blue/grey FoMoCo box. I'll get it color-matched sometime next week.
Caspian65, Did you have a chance to obtain a color match for the canister that you can share?

If anybody has an bonafided original canister and would like to take the time to have the paint color scanned please do so.

Another rare, obsolete Lunch Pail part! Bowls like this were factory-installed on all 1965 Mustang models, including all Shelby GT-350 units. Similar bowls were also used on 1967 Shelby GT-500 fuel pumps, as well as on many other 1963-1965 Ford & Mercury cars.
Most 289, 352, 390(before mid-August 1964) 428PI (1967 GT-500, only)

Me too.... I'm also interested in the crankshaft. What is the part number on the box?
