Indiana SAAC / Trying to help locate a car for a friend
« on: April 24, 2023, 03:50:05 PM »
Trying to locate a car for a friend that was last located in the Indianapolis area. Not a Shelby but I thought I would see if anyone recognized the car or knows the person the car was sold to about 35 years ago.

The car is a 66 Mustang coupe in Antique Bronze with C4 automatic, black interior and factory A/C. The car had a black vinyl roof installed that was not a factory option and had Moon hubcaps. Car was sold by my friend's dad to Bob Mathis. This is the car my friend's dad met his future wife. My friend would like to locate and see if any possibility to purchase.

I realize not much to go on, but thought I'd give it a shot.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Wanted to Buy / Re: 67/68 tach

Might want to consider a new electronic tachometer that is more accurate. I had my tach changed to an electronic by Mike at Orlando Mustang. They look and function great.

1965 GT350/R-Model / Re: 715 Holley
« on: April 14, 2023, 11:23:52 AM »
Drew,

Thanks for the offer. I did pick up a couple of power valves at the local Advanced Discount Auto Store. The kid behind the counter had no clue, so he said to come behind the counter and check in a box that was misc. Holley parts and found the power valves. I think I'm finally understanding the Holley's at my advanced age. Will see if I can get it dialed in this weekend then on to my 482 CJ with a Quick Fuels Q-Series 750. I think it actually could use a 850.

Thanks guys! Will be taking a road trip this Saturday for the National Mustang Day activities at the Valiant Air Command Museum in Titusville, FL. Going to take some parts and try to get the carb dialed in. I'm real close as most of the hesitation on mashing the gas is gone. Found that most of the issue is that the accelerator pump has a lag when the pump arm starts to move. Was not getting a shot with the initial arm movement so I've been backing off the adjustment a little at a time and Voila!

1965 GT350/R-Model / 715 Holley
« on: April 12, 2023, 06:37:44 PM »
Can anyone advise on the stock size of the discharge nozzle on a Holley 715? I misplaced my notes and can't remember what I started with. Think it may have been a #28, as I have an extra in the parts bin. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Planning on going as I've never been to the museum. Stop on by and say "hey" if at the show.

Replicas and Tribute / Re: New headlight switch
« on: March 26, 2023, 01:41:49 PM »
Good point! My L.H front turn signal occasionally goes out and it is the firewall connection as you described. The headlights were flashing consistently until I opened the air vent. That seemed to solve the problem, but I know when the weather warms up in July for the drive to SAAC, that would be a concern, as I will have about 4-hrs of night driving.

I'm running sealed beam headlight and not even halogen headlights. I like the LED's but the price looks to be about $125 per bulb. I'd rather try to figure the root cause and try to fix that and run the FOMOCO etched sealed beams. Pulled the switch and no obvious problem other than being about 30 years old. It is a Motorcraft marked C5ZB 11652 A1. Any way to bench test the switch?

I assume the 4-headlamp switch would be the one use for a 69? The only issue is that the spacer is not included with the switch and modifications would need to be done to make it work in a 65/66 I assume.

NPD has some alternate bulbs, but I have no firsthand experience with any of them, so I'm hesitant to try them.

Looking for recommendation for best headlight switch for a 65/66. Had a flashing headlight problem last week on my trip to the American Muscle Car Museum show in Melbourne, FL. Any firsthand knowledge would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Looks a lot like Ford Vista Blue with the purple tint to me.

GT40 - Original/Mk V / Re: Aluminum Honeycomb

Honeycomb building panels have been used for building facades since the 1960's or possibly the late 1950's. HH Robertson made honeycomb panels that would fit into curtainwall and storefront framing systems.

« on: February 21, 2023, 08:06:47 AM »
Her is a chance to see one of the finest collection of cars during the March 18th car show at the American Muscle Car Museum in Melbourne, FL. The show is put-on by the Cape Canaveral AACA and this year's theme is the 30's.

Great collection of Ford GT's, Shelby's, Bosse's and Cobra's.
