Not to shy away from EBAY, but why not have a local muffler shop take care of it for about the same price or less? That way they can measure everything on your car for the proper fit. While they're at it, have them increase the diameter to 2-1/4" - 2-1/2" for better exhaust flow. Also keep in mind to have the ends of the HPipe bolt in, that way if you ever need to work on the transmission....

Hello:
I am looking for a pair of the original brackets that go through the rear floor pans that have the bolt threads attached for dual exhaust.
Thanks!

It is my understanding that the '65's did not have a lower dust boot, but it was on the '66's. That being said, I have seen several that go back and add the boot by modifying it to fit.

It is my understanding from a few Gold Judges that the 1966 trunk lids had the circles, but 1965 did not. I am not sure when the cut off date would be...

Noel,
Could you explain in a little more detail why the F4B does not stack up to the Shelby versions? I too, thought they were identical internally. Also, in the January 2007 issue of Mustang Times page 52, Mr Jon Enyeart of Pony Carbs makes an argument for the stock cast iron intakes. He further states, "a mid- or high-rise manifold is only going to elp you if you are consistently running the engine between 5000-8000 rpm." I wanted to get others input.
thanks,

Many of you may have read the blurb on Henry Ford II special Mustang with power disc brakes, etc. It is mentioned on page 146 of the NPD catalog and has been carried in some of the periodicals. I am curious if anyone has more detailed photos on this special car, in particular the "factory" mods.
Thanks,
Will
PS Thanks Merlyn for your email!

Murf,
Could you check your copy and see if VIN 5R09A162499 is listed?

Caspian65,
I had to have a seperate company do the dichromate coating. I had it done here locally and they did a decent job. Claude will do individual rebuilds, is very fair and informative. He did an excellent job pressing out the lip so I could have it recoated, then he replaced all the internals and re-rolled the lip. Very professional looking and about ~$100 with all the shipping (2x).

Several of you have helped in the past keeping me straight while I got my GT Fastback back together and now’s the time to return the favor. I have seen numerous posts on fuel pumps recently and wanted to let you know I had my ORIGINAL 1965 crimp style fuel pump rebuilt by:
Fuel Pumps A2Z
Attn: Claude
RR #4, Box 220
Fairfield , IL 62837
Phone: (618) 842-6130
They did a fabulous job, it looks good and my car runs great! A2Z may take a couple of weeks, but well worth the wait. They have the correct press to roll the lip, crimp the assembly and all the internal parts. If your pump needs to be refinished, you will have to get that done elsewhere as A2Z is just set up for the rebuild.
Thanks,
William

Noel,
On my '65 with Hurst shifter, four speed and console, I got the top boot from Dallas Mustang. I have already split it after a couple of years of use. I tried to get a bottom boot (my understanding is '65 did not have one, but wanted to try and keep junk out), but did not find anything that fit over the Hurst linkage.

Any idea where I can purchase the correct color and logo canister? Everything I have seen is all rotunda red.
thanks!

It's been years, but I had my radio restored perfectly and it has worked great ever since. No FM conversion, but beautiful AM and am listening to big bands again! Randy at Dallas Mustang, 800.687.8264 has the conatact info. Lights, needle and stations come in strong.
Good Luck!
