Having spent the winter and most of the summer correcting the ... ummm ... best intentions of experts, it is now back together and running great. Though the distributor (original) could use a rebuild and perhaps an electronic module, I hate points ... next summer.

And before anyone mentions it, I only sent the body guy six pictures of where the fender emblems were supposed to go. I think he's blind. If you seen the paint you would think so too. The question was would I rather have them on but in the wrong spot or take the off and have mark on the fenders. Body alignment, Paint (much better paint) & Decals next year.

Regardless, here it is for your perusal.

Good day folks. Once again I come seeking the collective wisdom of the group.

I have a good set of shop manuals, a good set of assembley manuals (reprints), an expanded view manual, Shelby specific suplemental manuals and an old 1973 Motors manual which has some surprising info in it. Still not enough.

Assembly and expanded view manuals all show the parts right down to the tiny detail.  However, none of them have a usuable part number. For example, the expanded view manual shows a head bolt as #6065. How do I translate that number into useful information like a description (ie 3" x 5/16" or whatever ) and a real part number.

Is all of that sort of information within the 1975 Ford Master Parts Catalogue?

If so, is there a prefered format or producer? I found a CD version at Hi Pro Parts Garage (link below) does any one know if this is a decent version.

Thanks for your help

Does anyone recognize where these parts were used. I can't recall where they came from and all my pics and notes walked away with my computer when it was liberated.

Thanks, hope you can help.

I don't know why it happens but whenever I take something apart I always end up with extra parts. I took my 1970 GT500 apart and now I am putting my  back together (almost done ... yipeeeee) and naturally I have some left over parts. The rebuild and assembly continues and I'm coming down to the final moments. That being, a final paint, decal installation and then a final clear coat. Now I was pretty careful to photograph (digital), bag and tag everything when I was taking it apart and back up the photographs to a second computer.

However, before I could commit a number photographs to DVD, some socialist decided that my property needed to be liberated and walked off with all the computers in the house which including my photographs and their backup.

Now I find myself with some parts that I recognize as coming from my car but cannot remember where they belong and don't have the documentary evidence to help me. And as I mentioned the car is substantially together with the exception of some door panel parts so they are not critical to the operation but I would sure like to know where they go. So I asking the help of the members here if they recognize what they are and where they go and would help me by sharing that info with me. Photographs of said parts in their home would be a bonus.

I have included some pictures of the left overs, please have a look and help me if you are able and would be so kind.

Thank you all in advance.
