Appeals / FE starter Bendix
« on: July 14, 2020, 11:45:09 AM »
Any body have a source for US made starter Bendix for an FE? Local Ford dealer, NAPA and the other auto parts stores do not carry a US made part. What is everyone using for a rebuild?

Thank you.

Wanted to Buy / WTB SW 240-A rebuild kit
« on: June 28, 2020, 06:34:52 PM »
Have not been able to locate a SW 240-A rebuild kit compatible with pump gas with up to 10% alcohol. Supplier that used to sell on EBay has been out of stock for a few months. Anyone have a spare kit setting on the shelf that they would be willing to sell? 

There is a vendor in Northern California (Cobra Performance) advertising rebuild kits but does not indicate if they will work with today's pump gas. Anyone have any input or knowledge of this vendor?

Thank you.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Edelbrock 1724 fuel pump for FE
« on: June 26, 2020, 08:30:47 PM »
Is anyone using an Edelbrock 1724 fuel pump on their FE? It appears to be the only pump that uses 3/8" NPT fittings and will support 600 horsepower.

Any input or comments on Edelbrock fuel pumps or a recommended mechanical fuel pump for an FE stroker will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Appeals / 1970 Mach 1
« on: June 02, 2020, 07:40:03 PM »
Can anyone advise if the 1970 351-C 2bbl. uses the same cam and pistons as the 4 bbl.? I'm hoping that a set of 4 bbl. quench heads and 4 bbl. intake is all that is needed for the upgrade.

I appreciate any info. Thank you.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 deluxe door panel replacement
« on: April 09, 2020, 02:44:45 PM »
My original door panels on my 68 KR were getting a bit shabby, so I decided to replace with what is regarded the best reproduction panels available. I bought the TMI panels and they look very nice. There are however a few issues to be aware. They are as follows:

1.) The reproduction panels are ever so slightly smaller towards the interior front of the car. Be sure to cut back your watershields enough so they are not exposed. Learned the hard way on my passenger side! Had to use an Exacto knife to trim them back. No big deal, but much easier just to use scissors and cut back before installation.

2.) The bigger issue is an interference with a flat washer head fastener that hold the regulator to the door. This fastener is below the rear pull strap and directly interferes with the door panel. The original door panels have a circular relief at this location, allowing them to fit flusher. Again, learned the hard way on the passenger side. I'm going to try to add this circular relief on the drivers side and maybe hit the fastener with a grinder to minimize the interference.

3.) Be sure to orient the door panel clips in the correct direction and test fit, as I had one clip that was too far off of the door hole to use. The cutout in the door panel backer material was off by the size of the clip. I guess I could have drilled a new hole in the door, but the location was on the bottom of the panel near the rear and the other clips are holding the panel tight.

I was planning on using the original deluxe armrests, however my passenger side is just starting to split. How are the reproductions? I'm trying to use all the original pieces that I can. I bought the reproduction armrest plugs, but the originals look better in my opinion. The grain and fit looks better.

Any input on the reproduction armrests will be appreciated.

Is there any factory orientation of the window regulator for the up and down positions? In the up position, I have my window regulators pointing towards the door handle. Could not locate anything to verify if there is a specific orientation or if it was completely random?

Hope this may be of help to others if planning a door panel replacement.

Appeals / Looking for 1970 Mach 1
« on: February 27, 2020, 04:17:24 PM »
Looking for my 1970 Mach 1 that I sold back in the late 1980's. Last seen in the Akron / Youngstown, Ohio area about 5 years ago. Car is yellow with black deluxe interior with gray inserts and standard hood with turn signals. The car is a 351-C with 4-spd, console and no tachometer. I had installed a Sun Super Tach on the column and also had a white plastic Hurst T-handle, Hooker headers with Lakewood bell housing and traction bars. Options were slats, front and rear spoilers and had 14" magnums with original Polyglas spare. One odd feature was that the car had the reinforced shock towers like a big block or Boss 302. (Serial # OF05M163764)

Would like to locate with the hope of being able to purchase.  Any leads or information will be appreciated.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Date code glass for July build KR
« on: December 20, 2019, 03:56:47 PM »
I've owned 04412 for 38 years and started to check items to see if they are original to the car. Looking at the glass, it appears to be original, however the date codes and orientation of the stamp are of concern. What I have is as follows:

Rear glass: 8G (Can read from exterior)
Passenger window: 7G (Can read from interior)
Passenger vent: 7H (Can read from interior)
Windshield: 8G (Can read from interior)
Drivers window: 7L (Can read from interior)
Drivers vent: 7H (Can read from exterior)

Is it common for the stamps to be mixed exterior and interior read? Do the side window dates seem OK for a July 26th 1968 build? Car was schedule to be built on July 23rd, but was 3 days late. Would have expected 68 date glass?

Any comment or insight is appreciated.

Thank you.
