If you look closely at my reply to your first post there is a link to exactly what you need.

Yeah, they kept trying to provide ones with the big square holes but none had the solid top and second o ring.  Anyone know which one I should use offhand?

-frank

I sat on the phone for 37 minutes with them and they were unable to tell me which ones would work for the 4698

So if I am correct from my research the 4698 is a 4150 carb and the needles available for that should work? And if open on top I will need to use a Holley needle/seat hardware kit?

Awesome, thank you for the help!

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Carburetor Confusion
June 19, 2020, 03:36:03 PM
so I have a Carb  on my 67 Shelby GT350 with list #4698

I was in need of some new needle and seats for the floats but when I hit the auto shops, they come back with part #3608 which is clearly the wrong needle, also same one in rebuild kits.

I was able to find a match with #23507

Not sure if wrong needle/seats or if my carb is somehow different than the list (maybe other numbers on the carb account for this) or the old books are wrong at the auto shops.

Anyone with similar experience or can shed some light on this?

I have included some pics

Thanks in advance

What would a proper restoration on something like this run?

A little garage project picked up a few years ago.  Was our first classic and we did everything wrong and ended up with a non-numbers GTCS with frame damage and then some.  We have been tinkering with over the years and not sure if will sell one day or just let one of the kids have it?

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Silver 67 Gt350

From Jeff Francis:


When we restored the car we used paint code 1901 silver frost which was on both the Marti Report and the document from Ford provided by Dave Matthews the 1967 Shelby registrar, both attached. Sometime later contact was made http://bigbilllove.com/WHOO_Orlando_Florida.html which revealed an original photo of the car in its original color, gray. Kevin Marti was confronted and here's his response: I believe I'm beginning to see where some confusion is coming from. The 1997 Shelby Registry contains the information that the paint code for the 1967 Shelbys painted Charcoal Gray as Ford paint code 1901 on page 1280. They correctly give it as Ford paint code C, which is a Thunderbird color, but when they supplied the Ford reference number of 1901, they made a mistake. It should be listed as 1900. As these were Shelby records that the 1967 Shelby reports were drawn from, this error has been perpetuated throughout subsequent writings by anyone out in the Shelby world. I would suggest contacting the Shelby Club about the error on any future matter about this issue.



If you want us to produce a report for you with the reference number listed as 1900, we would be glad to at no charge. Return the report you have (since it has the holographic anti-forgery sticker per your picture) to us and we will be glad to list that as 1900.


Thank you,

Kevin Marti

Just two years ago I decided to refinish the car again so it would be perfect and fresh. A few of us Shelby enthusiasts discussed painting #1210 back its original color, but decided upon leaving it 1901 Silver Frost due to the following. For nearly a third of the car's life it had been Silver Frost, during this time the car has won numerous awards while in my stable, spent time in Paris and Monaco, been featured in German and French magazines and TV programs, as well as a cool video on the streets of Monaco and at a yacht party for Prince Albert of Monaco  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEwheSbnhaI&t=13s  We unanimously voted to repaint the car in its current color, Silver Frost. The body and paint is perfect!
