1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 GT500 instrument cluster
« on: May 27, 2021, 06:57:13 AM »
I have my gauge cluster out for normal maintanence and noticed something very strange.

It has no light socket in the harness for the fuel gauge illumination.

I picked through the harness expecting to find a severed wire where the socket was connected but it doesn't exist.

Now splicing in one isn't a technological struggle so that isn't the point of this post.

Have any of you come across this before?  ???

1969-1970 Boss 302/429 / 69 Boss 302 distributor diagram
« on: May 14, 2021, 09:19:08 AM »
I can't find this diagram on line. Is there anyone here that has it and can post it please?

Is there a retaining clip to hold the arm of the vacuum advance on the points plate?

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Points wicks/felts
« on: May 11, 2021, 09:46:53 AM »
Where can I get some of the fabric felt wicks that are on the points rubbing blocks? The wick that is supposed to be under the rotor at the top of the shaft also?

I stole some off of a couple of old Accell points I had but I need to find another source of new ones?

Anyone know a part number and a source for them?

I need a  Boss 302 distributor points cam for a rebuild on my distributor. I didn't expect them to be common and thought someone here reading this might have one available?

This is the distributor points cam used with all the dual point/dual vacuum advance distributors in the 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, used in the Boss 302, 351c Boss and CJ, 428 scj, 429 cj.

You can't use the standard cam in these distributors. The points mounting plate mounts the points higher in order to clear the arm from the vacuum advance. As a result the hex cam is higher in those distributors to align with the rubbing blocks on the higher mounted points and also has that distinctive recess cut into the top for the bottom of the rotor to clear.

You can see that groove in this picture and makes these cams instantaneously identifiable.

Who has these besides Perogie? A repro is fine but I can't find the source.

Got one.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 GT350 Hertz window sticker
« on: March 01, 2021, 10:05:51 AM »
I came across this copy of a 68 Hertz window sticker for -02736.

I thought some of you would be interested in seeing it?

It's a copy of the "carbon copy" so that's why it's a little blurry.

Notice that there are no "Retali" prices listed.

It's the only Hertz copy I've every seen.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Removing yellow cad off of bolts?
« on: February 25, 2021, 09:36:24 AM »
Since the yellow cad eventually washes off of it's silver zinc cad plating, is there a way of expediting that on new yellow cad bolts? Simply. This isn't NASA.

What finish was on these originally? Were they painted black?

I can't find a picture or data information on anything earlier then a '68. Anyone have anything they can post here please?

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 1967 GT500 coil mounting
« on: January 27, 2021, 09:39:17 AM »
On a 67 GT500 with no A/C or T/E, I see where the coil is mounted.

Does the coil bracket mounting use a special double ended bolt like the CJ does there or does the regular manifold mounting bolt just go through the bracket?


Also, I don't see any engine tags showing under the coil bracket? Is the tag just concealed by the bracket or is it supposed to hang down in front so that you can see and read it?


I am looking at Verns 5 zillion pictures of his current 67 GT500 offering. It has a lot of original details but I'm not seeing pics that answer these questions.

Gaines gets tired of answering these questions. I guess the tips of his fingers hurt from typing and pounding on the keys answering my questions?


Oh well? As Elvis sang in the '68 "Come Back Special"...."there must be peace in the valley someday" ? I got a white suit like that too...and yes it still fits  ::)

Wanted to Buy / 67 GT500 Intake manifold bolts
« on: January 27, 2021, 09:35:34 AM »
I'm looking for a nice set, or even individual bolts with the "5" marking on the heads, that were used on the intake manifold of the '67 GT500 C7ZX intake.

PM me if you have anything.

Also need the bell to block and transmission to bell bolts.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 GT500 manual transmission bellhouse paint
« on: January 21, 2021, 10:58:35 AM »
On the above item, the bell itself seems to only be painted with Ford blue as an overspray from the engine?

On the original bells I have seen, the sheet metal cover on the bottom of the bell is not painted.

If that part was added later, shouldn't the clutch assembly have blue overspray on it originally also?

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 GT500 intake bolts
« on: January 19, 2021, 05:35:24 PM »
Does the intake use bolt spacers on the two rear bolts or just shorter bolts? I can't find any pictures or references to that detail?

I do see that AMK does sell the spacers in their kit but don't know how accurate that is?

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 GT500 engine id decal
« on: January 15, 2021, 09:14:58 PM »
I know that the 68 and 69 GT500's had the Ford decals on the heads, but i can't recall ever seeing a '67 with them?

Should they have one?
