Did the assembly line installation of the carburetor to intake manifold use anything other than nuts, such a lock washers? Or just nuts only? Think I've seen some variety with this. In particular, I'm looking at a '66 GT350, but thinking this question is more generic in nature, so placed it here.

Are the '66s with automatic trans and Holley 715  supposed to have a dashpot?  I've heard that the '67 automatics that came through with the Holley 715 included a dashpot.  Wondering if similar for the '66s.
Thanks

This may have already been discussed before, but I wasn't able to find it... For a 66 with 715 Holley, what are the correct clamps for the hose between hard line and fuel filter, crimp style or the three-prong spring clamp?  I think I've seen both types used.

I recently got an ACC trunk mat labeled as "1965-1968 Ford Mustang Fastback Molded Trunk Mat" that I can't get installed correctly. It seems like it's too wide along the forward edge to slide far enough forward. There could be other fit issues as well, not sure since I can't get it in far enough to tell.  Just wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar situation? Is there a trick to installing it, modifications, etc.? Possible its the wrong cut/shape for a fastback? I'm attaching a picture from the product sheet that came with it that shows the overall shape of the mat, if that helps.  Unfortunately I don't have another mat to make a comparison to. Any input appreciated.
Thanks, Mark
