Hi Bob,
I was mistaken. The article was in The Shelby American, Sept-Oct 1979, Volume 4 Nuber 5, Page 9.
It was sent to Jeff Burgy by Roger Hodyka

Hi Paul,
Have you changed the area code in your phone number or just fat fingers.

If I were you, I would make sure I had the 6-inch Idler arm and Pitman arm respectively before ordering any replacements.

I had a similar problem on my 3259 and it turned out to be the adjustment of the flaps. It sucked gas through the groove
and I adjusted the flaps with the tiny screw that can only be seen with the carb turned upside down.
After that the carb has worked fine and reacting to the idle screws.

Hi guys,
I have attached a page showing the rear brake parts for 65/66 GT350's. It was published in "The Marque" in the end of the seventies or beginning of the eighties. Don't know if I am correct on the name but I believe it was Roger Hodyka.

Thanks Drew, Can you please reserve a set for me so I can send it to Rolamd in Sweden.
You have my phone number from earlier conversations.

Hi guys,
My friend Roland in Sweden is looking for original linkage between the #2804 and #2805 Carburetors or some great pictures showing the original linkage with measurements for his 67 GT500 4-speed. He found the original intake and reissue of the carburetors together with bellhousing and SPEC rear axle pumpkin and some other parts from Kent in Germany.
Can anybody help him?
Thanks, Texas Swede

Good morning,
I checked two Production Orders and the 402F package (thermactor) had a tube listed and the second 400F
package (no thermactor) had none which probably means the oil filler tube was included with the intake part number in that case.

Thanks guys,

Hi guys,
Did all 1967 Shelby GT500 come with the oil filler tube inserted in a hole in the passenger side front end of the C7ZX aluminum 8-V intake manifold or were there exceptions like Thermactor equipped cars. The reason I ask is that I have seen pictures of cars with them and without them. Also seen manifolds with a plug instead of the tube,

Thanks Dave, I am fine, what about you. You solved the problem, my car didn't come with the Bowditch Dealer Emblem. Now I am going to watch my 14-year-old grandson in Sweden placing ice hockey in Stockholm. Can watch in Swedish Hockey TV.
Again, thanks, Texas Swede

The Original Bowditch Dealer Emblem, did it have pins on the backside or was it glued on the back of 5S296.
Looked at old pictures of my car and there are no holes drilled. Bought the car in Feb.1988.
Thanks, Texas Swede

Wish I had one of the Bowditch Dealer Emblems for my car 5S275 which was sold by Bowditch Ford.
Texas Swede

Yes, they were the winners. I tried to get in contact with the others without success.

Hi guys and thank you for your help as regards the pushrods for Roland's FE428.
I ordered them from Tony at Smith Brothers, and they arrived today. About a week total turnaround time.
Tony was a great guy to deal with and I can really recommend them if you need any pushrods including custom made as
these were.
