Not to be snarky, the subject here is '65 steering wheels. And '65s don't have power steering.Yikes! I thought the aluminum hub was the weak point.
Many wheels are restored, but the wheel inner ring and spokes are not checked, and one good yank is all it takes.....be careful how you get in and out of your car...and never try to steer it with the motor off (PS is not helping with the motor off).
To add, Thanks for Jeff Stephens for making it great again! It came out beautiful, and STRONG!
I am looking to find a rebuilt carburetor for my car. I was told I needed a C6ZF-F probably a FOMOCO carb. Can anyone help me find one?Good luck with that one. The automatic versions of the Hi-Po carburetor rarely come up for sale. I had to settle for the four speed version (C6ZF-C) for my Hertz car since I could not find the right one. Then be prepared to pay a large sum. Asking prices could be as much as $4 or $5K for the real deal. These carbs are extremely scarce. And don't get fooled by clones. There are a lot out there. If you have to pay big money, you need to get what you pay for. Good luck on your search.
I, for one, can't understand why anyone would prefer an Eleanor over a stock '67 Shelby. There is simply no comparison in terms of design and/or appeal.+1. I'm trying to come up with something witty to say here, but I can't. Ned, you are right on the mark and I couldn't agree with you more.

To continue my series of dumb questions, will this harmonic balancer work on a later model 302 engine? Since I can't find a local engine builder I'm probably going to order a 302 stroker long block crate motor and add all the SAI externals to create the appearance of a Hipo.
You can see just how late a '67 from my signature (pretty late). And yes I have a Z marked vin tag.I have no dog in this fight. I own a 1966 and a 1967.Very nice, "the real ones"
How late a 67? Don't forget Ford took over production at the airport around April/May 67. It seems pretty likely if you have one of the Z marked vin tags your car was produced under Ford ownership not SA.
