These folks can fix it.  Give them a call to describe the process.

On my '66 I am running repro Style Steel wheels with 4-5/8" BS and 215/60X15s on the front.  They will touch the fender lip occasionally - like low speed, wheel turned hard, over a bump.  My car sits fairly low.  No problem in the back - I am running 235/60X15s.

LOL!  How may answers did you want?  Bob is probably correct for a '67, though I have been using the yellow ended ones on the C5 distributors I have done.  So the black one is same as Hi Po 289?

I think you want the wire with the eyelet and yellow molded connector.

Not a Shelby, but my 9/65 scheduled build San Jose car has the half clip you mention.

It has already popped off once but I don't see how you could get a c clip on it the way it is designed?

Me either!!  You probably just need to tweak the arm up a little so it is snug against the bottom of the plate when located over the pin.

I think you are talking about the ball bearing advance plate that positions the vacuum advance arm underneath the plate rather than on top.  If so, there is no retaining clip.

I have only seen that points felt for the cam on the Blue Streak points sets.  I think there is a little paper in the box that mentions the felt being impregnated with something and not needing any additional lube.  There is a Blue Streak grease for the points cam, called Lubri-Cam.

Daytona Parts Co. can install a threaded sleeve which is pinned in place to restore the threads in the float adjustment.  Tiny pin towards the rear so hard to see.

Unrestored car.

Sent you a PM about rebuild.

I do same as Charles.  The thing about Evaporust on these parts is it will actually brighten the zinc as a side benefit of removing the dichromate.

Thank you Pete & Randy.  I'm blushing 

My thinking is that unless you plan to drive 10K miles per year and in all kinds of weather, the BFGs will do just fine.  And having less $$$ invested in the tires, you won't feel so bad replacing them due to age rather than wear when the time comes.  Diamond Back does a great job improving the looks.  You can get blue line or red line sidewalls and they buff off the factory sidewall lettering.

If going the same size on all 4, those 225s look good, though you might get some scrub on the inside of the wheel well when cornering.

He also took this one and said it was at Courtland, but he had the pics mixed in with some he took at Sebring, so I am not sure...

This would be the Roger West / Charlie Kemp R-Model, 5R538.  A friend of mine suggests that could be at Daytona?
