Believe the correct one (from looking at other K code automatic 67's) would be the C code as in 66. Don't see why Ford would go to a standard trans with the softer shifting. In 68 this was changed to what was the heavy duty C4 application for that year using the "H" servo. Believe you will find that judges will be looking for that "C"

Would guess that like most, the trans was rebuilt and exchanged rather than using the original. Someone likely got your high performance one in an exchange or the trans shop saved the good parts (like what happened to many a hipo head) for another project

These servos, with the governor and spring, are not easy to find and there was a reproduction available at one time. One just recently sold on Ebay last week

Here is what is being described

If I am understanding correctly then the Dearborn cars were not stamped on top tanks but had a separate tag soldered to the tank bracket as indicated by the fact NPD offers reproduction tags in their catalog and indicates that they were mostly used on Dearborn cars, which BTW mine is.

Many San Jose cars also got the small tag attached to the tank bracket (where it attaches to the top tank) in addition to the top tank stamping

I am wondering what sort of an original looking radiator WITHOUT provisions for cooler lines I can come up with if I'm not concerned about an original HIPO radiator??

Well the "Hipo" radiator your referring to really isn't It's the same on all 289 San Jose Mustangs with 3 or 4 speeds.

As for finding something that kind of looks like the original (no numbers, no dates, no cooler lines) You don't have many choices as most (could be wrong) reproduction/ replacements have the cooler lines. Guess you could "settle" for a Dearborn or NJ radiator and have it gone through

Is the housing and the case the rear or front fill version?

Thanks

Question for you about the rear shock (blue one), is that one also adjustable 3 way?

Sorry its not clearer. Yes it is a 3 way adjustable like the front ones. The blue is something we see on 66 versions like that one rather than the semi-gloss black used in 67. If you look closely at the bottom of the top moving section of the rear shock you will see the lines in the metal. The three vertical bars represent the three settings. Compress the shock and line the arrow (stamped in the lower section) Rotate the shock to the setting you want.

On the front shocks the indent in the top washer (under the mounting arms) is used in place of the stamped arrows.

Here is a picture of one of the front shocks (should be repainted semi-gloss black for this application)

Rears would look similar to this one (different color and marked AUTOLITE rather than FOMOCO) - bottom one of the two

And a picture of the wheel and tire combination

Believe there is a Toyota (sorry don't have the number) that works (some used this inside an original AUTOLITE can/housing on their cars

Quote from CharlesTurner

On an October '64 San Jose car, you will either find red-oxide (variant shades) and/or black underneath.

Charles.... you've seen black on Oct San Jose cars ??

Quote from GT Joe

I was wondering what the consensus is on the finish of these plugs? I have seen a few 1966 GT350's with a olive colored finish on them and a few SJ mustangs with a black finish.

I would choose the phoshated color/finish

Agree with others - what you likely looking at is a zinc dichromate plating that has a "copper" look to it. Normally the area under the seal is in better condition that the top of the cap

Easy way to confirm.... touch a magnet to the cap

Fuel line cover - Semi-gloss black

For the blue pump - others often suggest Delstar DAR #12366

Boxes don't appear to be FoMoCo ones

By that period - yes Orange seals, round holes, yellow/tan paper

Bought my last Motorsport ones (believe they are marked D0...) from Summitt

Same vendor ... unlike Ford Shelby had no problem with single vendor for a part ... a practice sometimes cost him

Thought someone here might find this helpful:

As many of you understand our Mustangs traveled down the assembly line on a series of mounting points (8 in total) that attached the car to a moving dolly.

At 4 of these points the car was bolted to the dolly and at the other 4 points the car simply sat on stands. Many of you have found your own way to reproduce the look and feel of these bare metal spots, here is what I'm trying with the most recent car I'm helping with.

Original examples of Dolly marks

It would help to know when and where the car was built

Are you referring to the stamping on the drivers side head surface extension or the bottom of the block (oil pan machined surface at the rear)?

Oil pan surface = machining

Head extension = assembly

Believe only the assembly stamping includes any dates and mentioned above

Believe only in print form

Mark thanks I haven't received a flyer yet and and could not find it on their web site or I would have posted that.

You got the price wrong.... or at least different from what is shown inside the cover $34.95
