« 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...

1965 GT350/R-Model / Owner of 65 GT350 wrecked when new?
« on: September 29, 2023, 07:40:03 PM »
While searching for something different on FB came across this. Posting in case anyone knew the guy or car...

"Does anyone when remember Braxton Hazelrigs wrapped his new 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350 around a telephone pole on N. Decatur Road? He was going to Tech and would occasionally stop by North Decatur Pharmacy for a burger and Coke. Nice guy."

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Original Coil Bracket Bolt?
« on: September 12, 2023, 06:34:26 PM »
This was on 6S1757 (late March 1966 SJ build) when purchased in 1987, any chance it's original?

Thanks,

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Holley 715 Help
« on: September 01, 2023, 05:07:02 PM »
The 3259 on my 66 started running rich in about the last 500-1000 miles or so. I pulled the carb and the secondary throttle plate bottoms and lower bores are covered in black, mostly dry soot on the plates. Primary plates and bores are clean and look great. I don't see anything obvious...float levels are good, no sticking or leaking floats, needles/seats look good, etc. The plugs are more fouled towards the front of the engine.

Could this be something as simple as a clogged air bleed? Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

For those in the north end, the North Lake Marina in Kenmore has 92 octane and allows cars to pull right up, filled up there today. My usual source, the Snohomish Co-op, is replacing their tanks and will be shut down for gas for at least another two weeks...

« on: May 08, 2023, 01:10:49 PM »
Does anyone have info on this photo from Colin Comer's book "The Complete Book of Shelby Automobiles", page 132 IIRC?

I believe the guy might be Jack Khoury, Production Manager at SAI.

Thanks,

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Interesting Observation....
« on: April 12, 2023, 09:45:29 PM »
....well, to me at least.

2 weeks ago on a drive my tach started freaking out, bouncing all over the place. This is an original tach restored by Phil Severance so wasn't overly concerned about it being the tach itself. Was more suspicious of the OE yellow top coil, swapped on an NOS Motorcraft coil I had siting on the shelf and sure enough the tach was back to normal.

The interesting observation was, while on the test drive with the Motorcraft coil I noticed RPM's were 200-300 lower than with the "bad" yellow top. Today I swapped on another nice used OE yellow top coil and on the drive it was also reading 200-300 RPM lower exactly like the Motorcraft coil.

My question is...could the slightly higher RPM's from the "bad" yellow top be an early indication of a failing coil? Or just a weird coincidence?

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / 66 Fuel Gauge Issue
« on: March 08, 2023, 01:34:36 PM »
The fuel gauge in my 66 recently started acting weird, basically drops too fast, and no....not due to my right foot. For example, a few weeks ago it showed 1/4 full when I filled the tank which then showed full on startup.  Was surprised that it used a 1/4 tank on the 10 mile drive home. Drove it about 40 miles over the next couple weeks and again down to 1/4 tank. But when I filled the tank again it only took 4 gallons which is what I would have expected for that much driving, gauge now showing full again, then dropped another 1/4 on the same 10 mile drive home.

Does this sound more like a gauge or sender/float issue? Both sender and gauge are original.

Thanks,
Dave
