    I have two pairs of vintage Koni rear shocks that are date coded properly for a 1966 and 1967/68 Shelby. The pair correct for the 1966 model year are dated 11-65 and the pair for the 1967/68 model year are dated 7-67. Both pairs are part #'d 82-1389 and are used but in excellent condition. Any chance someone out there has a set, front or rear, that are dated correctly for my 65 GT 350? Dates could be 11-64 thru 5-65. I would prefer trades to seeling out right. Paul @ 817-691-0159(c).

    What is the correct timing gear cover and valve covers for an early HIPO mustang with a 5 bolt block? The car is a June 1964 production. Specifically, which of the following three types of timing gear cover did it originally have?


    Type A: Timing cover used to run an aluminum H2O pump and has an oil filler tube and oil cap sticking out of it.


    Type B: same as above but has a plug pressed into where the oil filler tube and cap could have been installed.


    or Type C: The one found on a 65 hipo running an aluminum H2O pump without any provision for oil filling thru the timing gear cover?


    Also, are there any differences in the valve covers from early 64 & 1/2 to the ones used on a 65 hipo? Thanks in advance for helping, Paul.
