1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: Holley 715 Install
« on: February 10, 2024, 10:11:16 PM »
Hi Everyone:
I am reinstalling a Holley 715 after a carb rebuild and I have a couple of quick questions.

1) I have a small 1/4 drive torque wrench (in/lbs).  I looked in the Holley specifications for their typical carbs and it indicated to torque the hold down nuts to 60-80 in-lbs.  Is this correct?  I am running a stock Shelby intake manifold and two gaskets with and a 1/4” heat dissipator.  Right now they are just finger tight. 

2)  Trying to figure out a return spring set up.  I have a generic bracket and a single spring setup.  Anyone have a different setup they would recommend? 

66 Shelby GT350H.

I typically use 8 ft-lbs which I've read as a Holley spec. Your 60-80 in-lbs reference is ~5-7 ft-lbs so in the same ball park.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 GT500 Thermostat Housing Clone?
« on: February 10, 2024, 08:56:58 PM »
Not mine, but thought this C8AE housing might be useful to someone for making a clone since it has a 67 date code and the side port is not drilled...

Somewhere out there I recall a photo of a 66 with dual quads where the monte carlo bar ran through the ail cleaner. Maybe Jeff Burgy's car?

Well, since I retired in 2021, the annual miles I've put on my 66 have more than doubled. That's the only slope that concerns me at the moment. And that slope is going UP.

David Davis restored an original set of 66 FoMoCo front adjustable shocks for me several years ago. Have no idea if he still supplies/sells the hardware but might be worth a call...

For clarification when you refer to 'tits" do you mean the left behind raised residue from the mold injection process on the top center of lens or ?

.....one of the words you can't say on TV.

This is the OE style NOS spring Cory mentioned in reply #5, it is the only one I've personally ever seen. From my observations this style was changed very early-on, maybe even before the end of 66 production? Bag part# is faint but reads C6ZZ-7523-C.

For reference here's a couple photos of 5S003's firewall taken when Mark was restoring it. He mentioned "when that was put on 003, the 65 production was in full swing."
