Jim and Shelby parts also has these just a FYI.
When you get one where ever it is, just take it to an office max or your local stamp place and have them scan it and make you a stamp of the two and learn how to forge the initials. That is what I did. I think the two stamps were like $3 they were so small. You're going to replace that a lot so worth the investment in the stamps IMHO.
Dan,
Thanks so much for the leads. This info is very helpful. I am liking the looks of the system with the fuel log and it would be easy to do.
The more "period correct" the only thing that may be though is the splitter to put the hoses to the carbs from the main line. Any idea where to pick one of those up or is that the "hens tooth" of the set up?
Thanks again,
Brian
Dave,
Thanks! I do have the 66 parts catalog, but will check out the others.

rr64,
I am trying my best to make a "correct" (the best I can) 1964 over the counter system from Ford. On the linkage I am just going to use the modern Edelbrock system but was wanting to go with a more vintage looking system for the fuel log. I could not find any pictures of the left side and when I did there was no fuel log.
I have the early carter madifold, 2 Cater carbs and S&H air cleaners. This gives me some ideas, thanks a lot!

I am in need of a picture of the Cobra Dual quad set up (the early style with the Carter carbs) showing an original fuel log. Every picture I have is of the drivers side.
Thanks in advance

Why would they put Radial tires on a car like this?
What is the deal with the metal areas in the interior being painted body color?
What color Red is that anyway?
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana" size=2 id=quote>
I would guess that color is resell red <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
IIRC the bottom of that filter was the older style. Somewhere I have a picture of it, I saved it to varify it was an older style filter and not a modern Motercraft FL1A.
I also notice it has a 4 insted of a 6 in the circle.
**I am opening this up as a friendly honesty discussion**
Rick,
That is what I was thinking you ment. No discrpect intended (as one can not gague tone on a page) but to me this does not make sense. I question why they (the maker) would split the week with the year in the middle. Granted there are some goofy date codes stamped on stuff, but none had stuff split up.
The "original" stamp I have is 0145. I was informed that this number was taken from a original filter. To me the day of the year then end of the year number would be more likey. For example 14th day of 1965.
The picture of the one I posted the date is 2647, that would be the 264th day of 67. If I remember correctly they would have painted the engion with the oil filter on so there for it would all be coverd up and blue..or black (65 and earler).
Just a thought.
Brian
Just a thought, as until we find someone who was there and knows we are all just making educated guesses.

Rick,
How are you getting "2656" the 26th week of 1965?
Not following how people are getting this. I could see "2665" or what does the 6 mean? The original picture I have is "2647"
To me 265 could be the day and the 5 the year.
Just trying to figure this out also.

Also note the 63/64 Fairlane Hipo 289 emblems. I have also seen these in early Mustang commercials but they were never on production units.

Fred,
Would they not have to drill the holes lower on the finder? I ask because of the sculpting of the lines on a Mustang the Fairlane badge does not fit flush. (My uncle had a 63 or 64 fairlane and I have his Hipo stuff, the car is LONG gone and is now a Toyota or Nissan or what scarp steel whet for in the early 70's.)
I made a stamp. I have a PDF of it. It looked to total crap when I tried to roll the oil filter. I gave up after a ton of tires. I recommend makeing a paint mask to get the correct look.
I believe starting in 67 you just had to have a V8
Those plates were also used in early 65's. I have personally seen then used up until November 64 and even possibly later. Used is about the only way, I have been searching for NOS for years. To make it worse, I need 2 sets. One for my 64 coupe and one for my sept 64 2+2.
Vert ones are additionaly very hard to find but you can take a set of Coupe/FB ones and have them bent to make them fit the vert. I know of two people who have done this for them 64.5's.
Good luck, hard item to find.

Much taller then then one used on the Mustang. This style will not fit on a mustang because it is too tall and will not seat flush due to the body sculpting.
I have a repop set from Dearborn classics for $35 if you want them until you find a real set.

I have used ABF Freight. I had a long block send from AZ to AR and it was $175. I am sure a rear end will fall under the minimum shipping weight so you will pay the lowest set price.
The cheapest way to do it is drop off and pick up at the terminal. Take a pallet, put it in the back of a truck. Then put the rearend on it. Take some straps and winch er down. They will unload and load at the terminal. Easy
Another reason I like this way is you can ship it freight collect and the buyer (Iowa)will take care of the shipping when it arrives. You get paid before you ship. Win/Win.

This is the dress up kit for any 221, 260, 289. There was not a engine decal.
