1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / New engine rebuild smoking and oil fouling plugs
« on: August 03, 2019, 12:47:55 AM »
My good friend Bill just had his numbers matching engine “ professionally?” Rebuilt by a company in California! $10,500 later plus r&r cost  it’s smoking on acceleration not as much on deceleration has been Fowling 4 to 5 plugs and it’s gone a quart low !! They ran it on their Dyno and did a break-in procedure! He is up here in Idaho with me and now having this engine in his shelby ;  he’s looking for help!!  I’m thinking they misaligned the rings or during the break in procedure on the Dyno something was damaged but your opinions are very needed here !  We have not checked the compression but it cranks over evenly with each stroke and it runs With acceptable power ! Changed oil twice with recommended oil and two sets of spark plugs and they are still fowling with oil on them!?

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / 1966 California Shelby’s
« on: July 12, 2019, 05:08:48 PM »
I remember going to college in 68 the CHP would set up cones to block the road and direct cars into a tailpipe sniffer for emissions! In my owners manual I read that Shelby got the 427 cobra and the GT350 “ exempt “ from California emissions! There’s an unrestored green 66 on BAT” that still has the passenger side lower windshield with its “ exempt “ sticker still!! I was  fortunate enough to find the exempt “ sticker still on my car when I bought it in 97 ! Does anybody else have one and was it just 1966 or was it later years as well ( the orange one found on my windshield and the blue is what you got after you were inspected)

« on: July 04, 2019, 08:05:02 PM »
My brother David has 6S898 and the exhaust system that was installed on it is substandard; He had a conversation with a SASC representative that his car could have come with sides exhaust like the 65’s!? is that true or would that be correct for 6S898 ( over rider traction bar car ) February build?

« on: June 29, 2019, 05:35:03 PM »
My Hertz never has had a spare in it since I bought it !! Which wheel was in the trunks? I have two to choose from ! I’m thinking I got the gray painted from 6s013? Or The chrome as the other four?

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Engine coil placements
« on: June 26, 2019, 12:31:26 PM »
Back in 97 when I purchased 1680 the engine had never been removed as it had only 36k miles true odo reading; I found my coil on the drivers side; most pictures of nicely restored 66 Shelby’s shows them on the passenger side? Did they come both ways?

Hi everyone!

Shelby owners Club ?? History? Era ?? Anyone here ever a member ?   I love the logo !!
