I swear I've seen a post on this and I've searched "hood" and can't find what I remember seeing. I thought there was already a post on the various hood changes. I'm hoping for guidance on the change over for the various hood types. My car is 6S1066. Would this be a steel fiberglass or all steel hood?

What were the types and applications of dual quad Shelby intake manifolds?  I've seen a set with a small "plain" script and a set with the "normal" script.  When we're they used?  We're they over the counter or factory installed?  Thanks!

I've been on the lookout for OEM blue shocks for my 66 - no luck.  For lack of originals, is there an acceptable replacement for judging?

What are the appropriate bolts for the front shock towers?

Hi all,

Which parts are phosphate and oil finish on a Holley 715/  I've got a non-66 version and want to make it more correct.  Thanks!

Forgive me for some newb questions.  The wheel in my 66 is cracked and I've had a couple comments that I need a good wheel.  I'm new to Shelbys so I'm here to learn.

What is the best original style (repo) wheel  for a 66?
How can you tell the difference between the best repo and an original?
Did Shelby or dealers offer nardi wheels?
If so, are these nardi wheels legit?

Thanks for your help!

I just learned that my car may have been mentioned in a SAAC article titled "Peruvian Connection".  I searched previous Shelby American overviews on the SAAC MemberLodge and couldn't find the title.  Does anybody know where I can find this article.  It apparently had a photo and/or text of a few cars being shipped to peru including 6S949, 6S382 and 6S1066

I'm sorry for the novice question but I've never tuned a carb before.  Where do I hook up the vacuum pressure meter?  I've got a 3259-1 carb.  I see new carbs have a nipple you can access directly on the carb but it doesn't look like the 3259 has one.  Do I hook it up to the actual manifold?  My guess is I pull the 1" hose coming off the front driver's side on the manifold.  Is this correct or is there an easier place?

Okay, so I'm a new owner and am learning.  I'm curious what people will say to this.  In your opinion, what are the 3-5 most important original parts to have that make a 66 Shelby a 66 Shelby (excluding VIN plate and chassis)? 

A real dream come true.  See you all at the shows and track.
