I wonder how he can explain why a "C7AF" distributor has a "5B24" date code.

NOT MINE. I have no connection with this. I just saw it on Corral.Net and thought someone here might be interested since it's a pretty early date. Hard to see but looks like "3j11"?

I am interested.  You  can send the pictures to Toofasttbird@verizon.net.  Thanks.

I'll try to dig it out tomorrow. I'll E-mail pics to you and post here.

What you have looks like a Detroit Locker to me. It's NOT a standard carrier. What the Craigslist responder is describing is a Ford Traction Lok unit. These have the "beefy and deep cut bolt holes on the side" because that's where the clutch pack is on the inside of. 

I have a manual pedal setup from a 69. I don't remember if it's for power brakes. I do remember it's a bit rough and would need a thorough refurbishing. I want $150 plus shipping for it. If interested, let me know and I'll dig it out for some pics.

Pick Your Part auto wrecking in Anaheim, California

In another 50 years you'll be able to sell it to someone trying to build a clone.

It'll just be added to my collection of VIN plates from all the HiPo cars I've seen in junkyards over the years. "R" code, "G" code Galaxies; 428, 429 CJ Mustangs, Torinos and Cougars; a "W" code Cougar; a few "K" code Mustangs and some others.

So yesterday I was browsing the website of local Pick-Your-Part wrecking yards, and I noticed this little beauty. It was put out into the yard yesterday and was already pretty much stripped of anything interesting.







My curiosity was peaked as to whether it was "real" so I decided to go check it out today. It was worse in person. If the pictures show how it looked after being ravaged by a pack of hyenas, today it looked like the leftover carcass after being scavenged by a hundred hungry buzzards. Outside of the export brace, brake booster, master cylinder, some wiring and various bolts, there is NOTHING useful left on it.

The good news (depending on how you look at it) is that it appears to be  a "real" Shelby. I took the Shelby VIN plate (sticker) from the driver side fender apron. I also got the ford VIN from the door sticker.

Hey Fran,
You bought the crank pulley and some other brackets from me. I thought you already had a good water pump pulley? If you still need it, let me know. I have a couple with "C6" partial ink stamps and a couple others with "C8" partial ink stamps. If you have the dimensions, I can check what I have to make sure it's correct.

I might have one, but I won't be able to look for it until the rain stops. Might be a couple days. I saw a couple on Ebay. $100 seemed to be the cheapest. West Coast Classic Cougar also has it.

I know I have the crank pulley. I thnk I have the water pump pulley but will have to check the numbers on what I have.

When do you expect to have GT390 transfer tubes back in stock?

Someone owes me 35 minutes of my life back.

If you can't tell within a couple minutes a YouTube isn't worth watching you don't have a life.

Judging from the replies, I guess I'm not the only one. Yeah, I watched the whole thing. As worthless as the video was, I stuck with it hoping to find out what that fool had done and what he'd been charged with. I never found any redeeming value in it.

Someone owes me 35 minutes of my life back. That video Wass completely worthless. The dude rambles so much, it's hard to get interested. From his story, all I could figure out was: 1. He's never been arrested. 2. He got arrested twice. 3. He got arrested three times. But he NEVER did anything wrong. He was arrested for "making videos." Well, Dude, nobody gets arrested for making videos. They get arrested for what they're doing in those videos (which he never makes clear). All he does throughout I play the victim. The only thing missing from his story is the plea for donations to a legal defense fund. Near the end he says that stupid people get arrested for doing stupid shit. Well, guess what Dude? You're one of them.
All I can say is...

Which brackets are you looking for? I don't have the pump, but I have the aluminum mounting bracket and the steel adjusting bracket.

Payments received and both brackets shipped out today. With a little luck, both should be delivered by Saturday. Thanks guys.
