1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Brake Light Testing - Turn Signal Switch
« on: November 27, 2019, 11:37:24 AM »
I had a similar problem and found poor connection of the TS connector at the steering column.  Try disconnecting/connecting the plug or jiggling it around while brakes are depressed and see if you have an intermittent connection.  I had to recrimp all the pin connectors in the TS harness to fix mine. (under dash harness side)

The best thing you can do to decrease the chances of heat or fire is to make sure the connectors at the gauge and terminal block are clean, tight and crimped well.  Even to the point of adding solder to the connector crimps.  Also star washers under connectors at the gauge help insure a tight low resistance connection.   Loose or corroded connections create a high resistance point  in the circuit that can melt wires or possibly cause a fire.

The difference is in the location of the bolt holes which this diagram illustrates:  The bolt hole location changes the angle of the frame mount WRT the insulator.   The one hole on the 67 is higher than the other years.  Keep in mind 68 -70 convertibles and big block used the 67 pattern.  The 2257 insulator should work.

Ok... thanks. helping my son try to install a late model (96 or so) SB 302 in a 67. With 67' frame mounts they are too wide? Will bolt up on one side but will not line up (reach) on the other. Looks to be about an inch or so shy widthwise.

As suggested try the 66 or 68 up frame mounts.  Your problem is typical when using 67 frame mounts without the specific 67 insulators.

The attached diagram illustrates the proper hookup.

Due to unexpected demand, I have twice as many queries as I have shocks to sell.
I am taking these in the order in which they were received and will respond to all of you.   Just be informed that if you haven't asked me about them yet you probably missed out already.
Wish I had a lot more of these!

Parts For Sale / 66-70 Shelby Rear Shock Clones NOS (SOLD)

These New old stock Gabriel shocks are the perfect stand in for the original factory FoMoCo or Autolite shocks found on the rear of Shelbys produced from 1966 through 1970.
Though not adjustable, they were made by Gabriel in the same design and dimension as the originals.   They have about the same firmness as an adjustable shock on normal setting.   Correct bell shaped top and bottom and spot weld pattern on tops.  Fine thread studs as original.  New in orig. boxes with hardware.
These could simply be painted the right shade to match your year, or further detailed to remove the printing or even have engraved with the correct printing if desired.  A great economical way to make your car more correct.
I have collected these over the years and have enough to make 3 or 4 sets. They almost never come up anymore.
$150 per set plus shipping.  PayPal friends and family-- please PM me for info or questions......  Thanks,  Kurt.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Re: KR steering column rebuild
« on: September 22, 2019, 07:55:30 AM »
Try West Coast Classic Cougar for rebuild.   Removal shouldn't be too difficult, especially with the short shaft box and rag joint.  It will come out from inside the cabin.

« on: September 18, 2019, 08:06:15 AM »
The factory stance on cars with Competition suspension typically looked low in the rear.  Personally, would investigate further before swapping the rears to be sure they are indeed sagging.  The new leafs will probably raise the rear higher than was stock.
At any rate if you decide to swap out the rears be sure to retain the lower leaf with part numbers to reassemble into the leaf pack.

The check valve mentioned actually is located underneath the tube seat(s) for the lines coming out of the MC,  you cannot see them by removing the bowl cover.
The disc brake MC is supposed to have a check valve in the line going to rear brake, while drum brake MC has check valves in both lines.
I really doubt your problem is there especially if they worked OK at one time.

I believe it is a FG-15 with the adapter or FG-14 without.  Some one please correct me if I am wrong (may have the numbers reversed).  Kurt.

Yes ebay usually gives me a pretty good shipping discount. Last time I sold something I got a 12% discount on shipping.

Yes, but they end up with it all when they charge you 10% on shipping and PayPal gets 3% on the shipping as well.   Greedy b*st*rds but the only game in town.  Wish there were more competition in the online auction space.
