Quote from: cboss70 on March 27, 2024, 10:27:43 AMI was going to replace my late 66's idler arm. I see some sites have a standard arm assembly while others have the 66 Shelby arm as a quick steering arm. Did all 66's have the quick steering as delivered by Shelby? Just want to make sure I order the right part.

Is your arm original? You might only need a new bushing.

Factory OE arms have unique markings, some good discussion and photos here:

I was leery of the GL-5 as well so did a bunch of reading on the subject. The takeaway IMO is the argument to use GL-4 vs GL-5 in trannys is not black and white, and the argument that GL-5 might eat synchros is overblown. I was using a GL-4 but decided to try the Redline GL-5 which is a different formulation than a GL-5 used in diffs. All I can say at this point is gear engagement is definitely firmer than with the GL-4, and the tranny seems more quiet.

SOLD, thank you!

Thanks Kent. I sent you two PM's about this, please let me know if you received them...

Thanks,
Dave

Looks great Ron, thanks for all your hard work!

I do have one question....is there an option to display the "Recent Posts" as "Recent Topics"? IIRC the previous forum version was like that, looked but couldn't find anything for this update. I find with "Recent Posts" the list gets too cluttered with new posts to the same topic.

Very rare 1 year part, includes an NOS filter. $210 including shipping.

Please email or PM if interested.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Ron!

I wonder if the 68 hipo fuel pump was used on the 68 tunnel port engine?

I've heard/read some speculation on that but never seen any documentation, plus the few period tunnel port 302 photos I've seen show a different pump, more similar to a Boss 302?

I stand corrected. Found this photo from a Hot Rod article on the Tunnel Port 302 showing a prototype street engine with a button top pump. So, yeah, maybe.

Forgot....this very rare 1968 289 HiPo fuel pump also made an appearance...

...was (mostly) cylinder head night. Thanks to everyone who brought out some really cool, rare, and.....heavy parts!

Rich,

I'll likely do another small run of these in the future,  when I do you'll be the first to know.

Thanks for the interest...

Some good discussion in this thread....
