I have my 66 GT350 insured with Heacock. Was planning to add my 2017 GT350 to the policy but found it was actually slightly cheaper to go with USAA where all our other cars are insured.

To add to Bob's comments, I've seen a few early valves where the ridges are deep cut and not beveled. IIRC this valve had a late 1964 date code...

It is not pulling far enough on the clutch to slip into gear as easy as before. And the pedal is spongy which suggests the return spring is losing its tensile strength? I attempted to adjust the pedal under the hood on the Z bar but it hasn't fully corrected the problem. Wondering if that rod is even correct for the setup. Also wondering if there is a secondary place under the dash for an adjustment or is something more insidious going on like loosened bracket(s)?

Looks like you also have a 65 z-bar and clutch rod...

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...
