1967 Shelby GT350/500 / oil pan/auto trans. oil pan bolts
« on: January 10, 2024, 07:20:21 PM »
Happy New Year to all!  I have a hard time keeping my oil pan bolts and the bolts on the auto. trans. oil pan tight on my '67 GT500, #906.  Seems like 2 or 3 times a year I'm under the car tightening them.  My present oil pan bolts have the "captured" lock washer and the trans. oil pan bolts have the "hex washer" heads as per the AMK catalog nomenclature.  The AMK catalog shows a "Ford Oil Pan" bolt on page 97, bottom line, far left corner of the page.  This bolt has a "conical" captured washer.

I see in the NPD catalog, "concours" bolt kits for each of these application.  Page 185, item #7A194-2AK for the trans. bolts and page 144, item
#6675-4AK for the oil pan bolts.

Which of these options is correct?  Especially for the oil pan, captured lock washers or conical head captured.  And are the trans. pan bolts listed correct?  Anything special about them?

Thanks for any responses.

Can someone please set me straight?  "67 GT500, outboard lights are only low beam and inboard lights are high beam?
My car presently has outboard lights that are low/high beam and inners that come on with high beam.

Looking for new bulbs that's why I'm asking.

Thanks for the help.

Anyone know know where I can purchase some rubber drain tubes for the air extractors (upper scoops) on my '67 GGT500?  These have the "belled" end where they attach onto the extractor bottom.

Thanks for the help.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / deluxe door panels
« on: March 06, 2023, 08:06:18 PM »
#906 should be coming back from the paint shop next month.  I'm busy getting all the interior parts cleaned up and ready for re-installation.  I've never been able to get my door panels (re-pops) to fit flat against the doors (originals unfortunately long gone).  My panels have a stiff foam filling in the back of them and are pretty much non-flexable.  They also have a bit of a curve to them from top to bottom which makes them want to pull away from the door.

What are other using for deluxe door panels??  I see some that have "hard press board", "masonite" wood backing and "MDF" backing.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / rubber gasket for air extractor, interior
« on: February 20, 2023, 11:01:56 PM »
Can anyone help me find a new set of rubber gaskets for the interior portion of the air extractor on the 1967 Shelby?  This is one that fits on the fiberglass "drain assembly" (C7ZB-63278B90-1, drain assy. - quarter vent) in the body assembly manual.  I'd like to get some new one's before I put this all back together after paint.

Thanks.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / lower rear front fender bolts/nuts
« on: October 19, 2022, 03:10:13 PM »
Can anyone tell me where to locate the bolts and nuts to attach the rear lower corner of the front fenders on My '67 GT500?  Car is undergoing a repaint and front fenders are off and there were no correct bolts and nuts to attach them.  Are the nuts a "cage" nut as shown in the AMK catalog?  Anyone have a quick pictures of how this should look?

Thanks for the help.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / sound deadening material / door panels
« on: April 12, 2022, 12:26:38 PM »
So, #906 is going in for new paint next month.  While this won't be a concourse restoration, I would like to make it as factory correct as I can.  I'm looking for replacement insulation/sound deadening material for around the rear fender wells, and the upper and lower air scoop area.  Currently I can't find any material to match some of the original material still on the car.  Anyone have suggestions as to where to find this material?  Also, I'd like to replace my Deluxe door panels with the brushed aluminum inserts as the ones on the car now are hard as rocks and don't lay flat on the doors.  Anyone have suggestions here also as to who has a quality door panel that fits well?
Thanks for your help.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / One piece fuel line, GT500
« on: February 12, 2022, 07:37:31 PM »
Can anyone recommend a one piece fuel line for the 67 GT500 that actually fits without making a bunch of changes to it?  Purchased one from NPD and although it says it's for the GT500, it's quite different than the one I have on it now.  Also, any easy way to thread one of these in place??

Thanks.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / GT500 carb heater tube
« on: March 18, 2020, 01:32:15 PM »
Putting the dual quads back on my GT500.  Where does the carb heater tube go on the passengers side of the engine and is this a two piece heater tube connected together by a flex/vaccum type hose?  Anyone have pictures where it is affixed on the engine/exhaust on the passenger side??
Thanks.

« on: March 13, 2020, 03:14:38 PM »
Anyone know of a vendor where I can purchase a correct oil filler/breather cap for my 1967 GT500?  This is the tube at the front of the intake manifold on the passenger side.  Need the push in style of cap, not the twist style.

Thanks for the help.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 67 GT500 proper cylinder heads
« on: November 29, 2018, 06:12:20 PM »
OK, I'm looking for some help on proper cylinder heads for my 67 GT500, #906.  Car presently has C8AE heads and headers on it and I'd like to return it more to stock configuration.
I purchased a set of C7AE-A cylinder heads with the 16 bolt pattern and a set of "stock" (as advertised) exhaust manifolds, numbered C60E-9430-A and C70E-9431-A.  The problem is the exhaust manifolds don't fit the 16 bolt pattern on the heads, the upper front bolt hole on the heads are off about 1/2".
I know that there were 8, 14 & 16 bolt configurations, but were the one's used on the PI engines the 14 or 16 bolt configuration??

Thanks for any help.
