Hello everyone.
I am currently looking for a 1967 c6 transmission crossmember/transmission dipstick tube/shifter lever and neutral safety switch however before i start and purchase anything i always try to do some home work and learn for myself if there is any differences between these parts and what they are, as they are listed as used over other years as well, however i have not had much luck so figured id ask for some advice and help.
So my first question, is there a difference between 67-69 c6 transmission crossmemebers and transmission dipstick tubes and if so what are the differences so i can make sure i purchase the correct one? I believe all i have found out as regards dipstick tubes is the paint colour on the dipstick tube is different if thats correct between the years?
The next questions is, i have found a company that reproduces the 67 c6 transmission shifter rod part number c7za-7326-a has anybody seen these reproductions and do they fit and function as good as the originals and again is there any differences between originals where 67 is different say to a 68 that i should be aware of and would you recommend originals or are the reproductions good as regards fit and function.
The last question is regards to neutral safety switches what is best and what would you recommend for replacement nos or are the reproduction aftermarket ones advertised with the improved internal mechanism good and reliable as regards fit and function.
Any help that anyone can offer would be much appreciated so i can start and track down the correct parts i need.
Many thanks everyone stay safe.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 shelby turn signal and emergency flasher units
« on: October 02, 2020, 07:03:27 PM »
Hello Everyone
While i have my gaue cluster out on my 67 gt500 i figured i would replace my emergency and turn signal flasher units as they are now easy to access with the gauges currently out.
My question is with the added rear tail lights on the 67 shelby did they use the same flasher units for the turn signals/emergency signals on the shelby as was fitted to the mustangs or was there a different unit used a more heavy duty unit because of the more lights added?
I know there was problems with the factory headlight switch and some dealers i believe fitted mercury cougar headlight switches to take the load of the 4 headlight system and wasnt sure if something similar may have happened here with the flasher units.
If so can anybody recommend a brand or heavy duty type flasher unit they have found that is good/reliable and has a good shelf life.
Many thanks
Stay safe

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 Shelby nylon oil gauge tube sleeve
« on: September 07, 2020, 07:37:26 PM »
Hello Everyone.
I am looking for a new protetctive sleeve to slide over the nylon plastic mechanical oil tube going to the 67 shelby mechanical oil pressure gauge.(protect it from heat and damage in the engine bay)
I have tried searching the web for what im looking for however i can not seem to find it listed anywhere.I have tried searching for oil sleeve/oil protective sheath/ high temprature oil sleeve? no luck.
The only place i have seen something very similar to what i am looking for(whats on it now that im trying to replace with new) is what is used on the new alloy metal resistance wire that you can buy to replace your old wire in your harness.That has the same protective black sleeve on that im currently looking for.
Im sure you can buy it in a roll to the length you require however not knowing exactly what its called im struggling to find it listed online.
Does anyone know exactly what its called or where to find any or purchase any from? I believe its kinda similar to what was used on the heat choke pipes on mustangs to protect the pipe, also maybe used on the door latch rods inside the door to stop them from vibrating maybe just a different colour? I could be wrong.
Also another quick question did the 67 gauge cluster harnesses all have fomoco sticky ID tags on the backs of the harnesses to id them as tach/non tach harnesses?
Thank you all once again for any help you can provide me.
Sorry for awkward questions.
Many thanks everyone. Stay safe.

Hello everyone.
I am currently restoring my 67 shelby gauge cluster. I have totally disassembled the gauge cluster and repainted it a bright enamel white and fitted new solid state regulator,new wiring,new bulbs,new blue lense diffusers,nos wiper switch, new bezel and i cleaned all the original gauges and gauge faces very carefully with a soft paint brush so as to not damage them(lightly clean the dust away).
However i noticed today while cleaning the 140mph speedometer and getting ready to reinstall the gauge back in to the cluster however, it appears to be missing on the back of the gauge mechanism near the top where the mileage meter is, the plastic nylon drive shaft that turns the milage wheel mechanism and is connected to the trip mileage meter at the bottom of the gauge,it is missing what appears to be a brass bushing that holds the plastic nylon mileage meter drive shaft at the side of the gauge mechanism at the rear of the gauge and stops the plastic nylon mileage drive shaft from turning out when the speedometer is functioning. I connected a speedometer cable to the gauge and then to a drill and true enough the nylon drive shaft starts to turn out of the gauge mechanism when working. The tripometer nylon drive shaft at the bottom rear of the gauge has what appears to be a brass bush holding it in therefore stoping it from working its way out once the gauge is operating however the top one for the mileage is missing?
I will try to post some photos to better show/explain what i am looking for however i was hoping if anyone could help me or advise me where to get one of these little brass bushings or even tell me what they are called? i have never seen a bushing like it before.It kind of looks like a brass top hat style bushing.
I checked on the back of a normal 120mph mustang gauge and they also have one of these brass bushings that stops the nylon mileage driveshaft from coming out of the rear of the speedometer mechanism.
Once again thank you to anyone that maybe able to help me or educate me as to regards how to find one of these brass bushings. I will try and up load some photos to better show or explain what im trying to find.
Many thanks
Stay safe

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 deluxe heater control panel aluminum trim
« on: August 25, 2020, 07:42:20 AM »
Hello Everyone.
I am trying to re glue the aluminum trim that is attached to the die cast heater control panel on the 67 shelby/mustang with deluxe interior. The car is a non ac car.
I was just wondering if anyone here may have some usefull tips or information on what type of glue is best to use? I brought a epoxy glue by devcon and tried a test piece but it did not hold very well at all.
Naturally i only want to do the job once so i was just curious if anyone had any ideas or experience to share.
Many thanks for your time.
Stay safe.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 Shelby instrument cluster paint.
« on: July 26, 2020, 07:03:28 AM »
Hello everyone.
I am in the process of restoring a 67 instrument cluster( new bezel/bulbs/ diffusers/wiring/voltage regulator ect) the back of the instrument cluster is very clean and not rusty at all where all the wiring bulb holders attach and on the inside the white paint is good as well however I figure since I'm replacing everything what are your recommendations on blasting the instrument gauge backing plate (obviously all gauges removed) and what about replacing the white paint finish on the inside that the gauges all bolt to. What brand paint and finish is best I believe it's a flat white not gloss however I could be wrong and it may have of course changed slightly and aged with time.
Just wondered if anyone that's done this before may have some information or maybe best to just clean and leave alone?
Any help is appreciated. Many thanks everyone. Have a nice day and stay safe.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 1967 Shelby shoulder harness mounting bolt.
« on: May 30, 2020, 04:02:22 PM »
Hello everyone. I am mounting the shoulder harness's back in a 67 Shelby. The question I have is do they use the same style seat belt bolt, as the lap belts that anchor on the floor pan to mount the retractors to the roll bar(gold cadmium hexagon head style). I have the Branda 67 Shelby assembly manual but its hard to tell. If any one can post a picture or help with information would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Have a nice day

Appeals / 1965 mustang gt350 Go Kart
« on: May 30, 2020, 03:49:39 PM »
Hello Everyone. I am looking for some help or information if possible. I remember many years ago now maybe 2006 at the fall Carlisle car show I was walking around the car corral area and remember seeing a gentlemen driving a miniature gt350 go kart. I remember stopping the fellow and asking him if I could take a quick photo as I thought the go kart was cool. I have been trying to do some research recently and just wondered if anyone may know where I could purchase one of these go karts bodies for myself or if anyone on the forum has any information about them or maybe even has one themselves. I remember the one I saw years ago was white with blue stripes and was a good replica of a 1965 gt350. If anyone has any information please if you could post or pm as I would like to build one for my Nephew who is a mustang fan.
Thanks for any help given.
Have a nice day.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 shelby tailight wiring harness.
« on: May 21, 2020, 07:46:36 PM »
Hello everyone.
I am just looking for some advice and general information from people that may have done this before. I am installing a new taillight harness in a 67 Shelby, I have the Osborne manuals handy and understand how to install it and where everything goes my real question is how much of the rear interior do I have to disassemble to be able to feed the harness through to the trunk? Is it possible to remove the hockey rear interior molding that (goes behind the roll bar that covers the rear sail vent panel and rear lower quarter panel) and be able to loosen the screws that hold the rear sail vent panel and slide the rear lower quarter interior trim panel with the sail light down and out? or do you pretty much have to remove the two roof trim panels, then the sail vent panels and then the rear lower interior panels to be able to achieve the goal of feeding the new harness through?
The fold down seat is in the car however the base and back portion(the upholstered pieces are out) if that helps at all.
Just thought I would ask for some general help and advice and how people have approached this job before. I must admit removing all those panels seems daunting :-\ however what will be will be I guess.
Thank you for any help and advice.
All the best
Dave

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 1967 Shelby Automatic Shifter wiring.
« on: March 31, 2020, 04:21:21 PM »
Hello Everyone
I have a few questions as regards the 1967 Shelby automatic shifter lever, shifter wiring and handle.
I have tried searching on the web and in parts catalogs because I always like to learn however I am unsure on a few questions. Due to being in lockdown as well(coronavirus) I can not access my assembly line manuals which I am sure would answer one of my questions. So I wish to apologise for asking these questions if they are trivial.
The first question is did all the 1967 Shelby's receive the standard chrome automatic shifter handle or did they receive the deluxe shifter handle(leather look but is actually plastic) I believe its the chrome handle however was unsure.
The second question is regards to the automatic shifter light I have searched on NPD and ACP, I believe there are two styles early and late. The only difference I believe is the plug on the end of the shifter light harness? Which style was used the most through out the production of the 67 shelby's and when was the change over date?
The last questions is the wiring from the shifter light to the under dash harness. I understand from the pictures that the shifter light has a 8 inch wiring harness with a plug on the end(early /late being different from what I can tell) however I am assuming it is not long enough to plug in to the under dash harness(or maybe it is, it just doesn't look it).so I assume there must be a extension harness that plugs into the shifter light end of the harness and then goes up to the under dash harness illumination feed.(I so wish I had my assembly line electrical manual I feel a fool asking these questions)
So again I looked on NPD and EBAY and found somebody selling an original extension harness on eBay ford part #C7ZB-15A808-A however some are listed as fitting 67 mustangs with a center console and some are not and to the best of my knowledge I know the 67 Shelby's did not have the center console. So is there a different extension harness used (part number# ?) for the normal mustangs and Shelby's with out the center console using the standard automatic shifter? and if so does somebody happen to know the part number and if Alloy metals make a reproduction of it as again I cant not find anything online or even in parts catalogs? Again I assume there must be an early and late version due to having what looks like different plugs on the end of the shifter light harness. Or maybe I'm wrong and the shifter doesn't have an extension wiring harness and the wiring on the shifter light is long enough to plug in to the under dash feed on a non equip center console cars? If any one has some information or photos and can point me in the right direction would be great. I am doing some homework in advance while on lockdown.
Thanks again to everyone for your time and help in advance and hope your are all staying safe and well through this bad period.
All the best, have a nice day
Dave :)

The Lounge / 67 Gauge cluster questions
« on: March 11, 2020, 08:12:33 PM »
Hello everyone I hope I have posted this question in the correct place, I tried looking for a technical section but could not find one so I hope this is posted in the right place. My apologies if not.
I have a friend with a 67 gt mustang coupe, ask me some questions the other day and wasn't sure what advice to give him so I thought I would post here and ask for peoples views and opinions.
The two questions are my friend has his gauge cluster out the car because his 2speed wiper switch quit working would you recommend a new repro 2speed wiper switch or get a nos unit off the internet?
Secondly the constant voltage regulator on the back of the gauge cluster that drops the voltage to the gauges if you where to replace it, again would you get a nos unit off the internet or the newer modern electronic constant voltage regulators that are meant to be better and more precise?
Anyone body's help, thoughts and opinions much appreciated.
Many thanks for the help and advice
Have a nice day
Dave.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Isky or crane fe adjustable rockers
« on: August 20, 2019, 04:13:50 PM »
Hello everyone.
I have a lot of respect for the knowledge and wisdom on this forum and I am after some words of wisdom regarding adjustable rockers for a Ford fe engine soI hope I have posted this question in the right place on the forum.
I am currently building a 445 fe stroker engine for in a 67 gt500 and shelving the original engine so that the original motor is safe and if the stroker motor should go bank while having fun the original motor is safe.
The idea behind the engine is to go slightly better than a factory motor for example stroker motor equals more cubic 445 vs 428 inches,forged crank shaft instead of cast, aluminium cylinder heads instead of cast iron and so on, all the while trying to make it look like a original 67 500 motor as best as possible.(keeping original intake manifold, rocker covers ,air cleaner, pulleys ,accessory brackets)
I have a question regarding rockers I know from the factory I believe the rockers were no adjustable shaft mounted and again following the theme I thought I would upgrade to adjustable.
I wasn’t sure if roller rockers like the shelby engine co roller rockers would fit under the original 67 500 rocker covers so I figured well what about crane or isky versions of the factory adjustable rockers which I believe are 1.76.1 ratio.
Does anyone have any information or advice regarding what is best to use? Roller or factory adjustable and what experiences people have had with different brands Or any other words of wisdom. I appreciate the kind words or any advice anyone can give me from there experiences in life.
Thank you all once again for your help.
Have a nice day
Dave :)
