That would be good for cars/engines built after Dec 66 or Jan 67 and anytime till maybe May since supply of first quarter would continue in the system for a while after the production period? There is a hand full of FoMoCo/Autolite labeled parts that changed in the first half of 67 production.

Don't know if there is enough data/unrestored cars to document a specific time period but will look. Not just a Shelby thing so that helps a little  :)
