  • Coil Markings

    Thanks Bob,

    I have a 65 coil dated 5DCB with a dimple and the

    bracket has a hole but I must place the coil deeper

    in the bracket, i.e. below the dimple to get it to fit my 65

    GT350 without hitting the waterpump, correct?

    Saw a 1965 picture of 5S114 from the Mustang GT350 web site and

    it looks like that's exactly what the Ford factory did.

    This means that the ink stamping on the coil won't be visable

    when the coil is mounted as the bracket covers it.

    Hi,

    My codes are 2D, 3D, 5B and 7A.

    One, 5B had an index button (filed down) and bracket with

    a hole for the index button.

    The other three have no trace of any index button and brackets

    without the hole.

    Have heard that the index button and subsequent bracket with

    a hole were not produced after April 1965, ie. 5DD something should

    be the last date on the ink stamp. Anybody has anything else

    on that issue?

    Anybody know for sure what the embossed code

    on the yellow top coil between the posts stands

    for? Date code is applied with the ink stamp

    and doesn't match the embossed code on the top.

    For example an original coil dated 5DCB has an

    embossed code of 7B.

    Thanks for any help.

  • 4 SPEED SHIFTER CABLE

    Hi,

    Sent two shifters to Bill Heeley and got them back a few days

    ago. Excellent work and a nice guy to do business with.

    Have a question for you. He puts on a rubber or plastic bushing

    over and under the reverse sleeve and I wonder if these shifters

    came with those originally. I know that Ford used them on

    NOS replacement shifters because I bought one in a box many years ago

    and it had those bushings. However, I have never seen them

    on an original. Could it be that they just have worn out over the

    years. Thanks for your help.

    Hi Murf,

    I attended the Yellow Rose car show on Saturday

    but did not see Tom Daniels. I think his car was

    there but owned by somebody else nowadays.

    Sorry, but I will continue to see if I can get

    in contact with him or Gregg Cly.

  • 65 Falcon 271 HP Challenger V-8

    Hi,

    At the SAAC convention in Portland, OR in the beginning of

    the 90's, there was a guy with a Falcon 63 1/2 equipped with

    a 289 HiPo engine. He showed me a magazine article about

    this dealer installed option and I think there were about 5 cars made or something. In that case the engine code wasn't

    a K, of course, due to the dealer installation. Very cool car though.

    Hi Guys,

    I have a memory way back in my head

    that this car or one looking exactly

    as this one used to be in the Denver

    area and was showned in Mustang Monthly

    in the beginning of the 90's. Something

    about this guys parents looking after

    his car when he was in Gulf war.

    Hi Murf,

    I have not been able to locate any of these guys yet

    but will continue to try. Hopefully, Tom Daniels

    will have a car at the Yellow Rose car show in Fort

    Worth in August and I may see him there.

  • Can a Hipo engine take a Hyd Cam?

    Hi Cliff,

    As far as I know, you can use a hydralic

    cam in a HiPo block, if you haven't

    inserted cam oil restriction plugs in the

    gallery. I have those in one of my HiPo

    engines. How to identify a HiPo engine can

    be found in a couple of books, Bob Mannel's

    f.ex. You can also use the search function

    on this site and get the information.

    Good luck,

  • Early Versus Late Shifter

    Yes, pictures of early 65 Shelbys in the

    magazines from the same year show the short

    bend shifter as well. Those cars were built

    in Nov-Dec 64. Chrles is most likely correct

    that I need a curved shifter in my early

    May 65 built car though.
