Can anyone help decipher the factory stampings on the inside and rear of this rim. Thanks in advance for your help. Denny

My front turn signals stop working when I pull on my headlight switch. All bulbs, sockets, connectors, fuses, and grounds checked and functioning properly. Flashers work as they should. 
BUT, once the headlight switch is activated the front turn signals STOP blinking. The rear turn signals and marker lights work as they should, it's just the front two turn signal bulbs that stop blinking and stay just lit.
Upon further testing at the front turn signal sockets, with the bulbs removed, I'm getting 12 volts on both the turn signal side of the bulb tip and the parking lamp bulb tip when the parking lights are turned on. With the parking lights off and the turn signals activated, only the turn signal side of the socket carries 12 Volts, like it should.
Any ideas where this head light voltage could be leaking over to the turn signal side of the circuit? Could it be in the turn signal switch in the steering column itself? Thanks in advance, Denny     

Background: 351 C in a 1970 Mach 1. A couple weeks ago, while driving the car, I noticed my oil pressure gauge needle climb to the "H" on the scale. Car runs fine, doesn't overhead. Oil and filter changed a short while ago. Running 10W-30 Mobile synthetic.
First, I changed oil and filter again in case the filter was clogged up. Gauge still reads "H". Next, I installed new oil pressure sending unit at the block. Started up and the oil pressure gauge needle still resting on the "H". Then I pulled the sending unit from the block and installed a test oil pressure gauge that actually reads pounds of pressure. At engine start up over 74 LBS pressure. After full warm-up, the gauge still high, around 62-64 LBS. After a few laps around the block, oil pressure stays above 60 LBS while driving and falls back to 40 at idle. Next, I replaced the oil pump with a new Melling unit, 84A as recommended by the tech at Melling's hot line. No change in oil pressure reading, darn it. Another longer test drive again, and upon close inspection, it appears that the engine is pushing a little oil out, either at the distributer seal, or the front of the intake gasket.  This is as far as I can go with my limited knowledge of engines. Oil passageways plugged. Any advice appreciated before I pull the engine. The engine sounds fine and makes no noises like its lacking lubrication anywhere. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss my dilemma or call me 864-321-0248.  Thanks in advance, Denny

The wiring for my neutral safety switch from the pigtails on the firewall to the transmission should be secured somehow, but I can't find a photo of where the wiring harness is attached. Can someone please help. Thanks in advance, Denny

Which way is correct, wheel up or down in the trunk? Thanks

Is there an active group of SAAC members that meets anywhere in Florida? Thanks, Denny   in Port St. Lucie, FL

I recently met a guy who showed me this photo. He has no recollection of when or where it was taken. Anyone have and thoughts on it? Perhaps one of the Conventions, or an MCA meet.

Any suggestions on where to send my compressor for a re-build? Thanks in advance. Denny

I have a "HI" horn I'm not using. If anyone out there needs it, please PM me. It doesn't work. I'll tested it simply by applying 12 Volts to it. It'll need rebuilt. This horn has a nice clear date code on it. FREE to a SAAC member, you pay postage is all I ask. Thanks, Denny

Looking to purchase an original assembly line set of Torx screws for my 1966 dated C-4. Like to obtain a full set, but will be open to any number you might have. Thanks in advance.

On the back side of the firewall pad, I found a number/letter combination pressed into the insulation. It looks like 6 B. Anyone out there have any ideas what this impression represents? Thanks.

Has anyone out there performed repairs on their firewall pad? My has broken apart in two places. One where the steering wheel column goes through it, and another piece has separated just below there. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Denny   

I replaced the leather pads on my Ray Brown seat belts today.
I had a premier leather shop make the new pads using my originals as the template. The new leather pads have been precisely cut to the exact measurements of the originals, using the same weight leather too. Same color, black finish on the top, natural leather on the bottom. See photos.

While they were filling my order, I asked them to make a few extras just in case any of you Forum members out there are missing one, or have the need to replace both of yours.

I'm asking $20 each, $35.00 a pair, shipped free in continental U.S.A. If you're out of the country, please PM me and we'll see what we can do to get them to you.

If you would like me to attach them to your hardware, you'll need to send your belt to me. I'll reattach the leather using the same tubular rivets that were used on the originals. I'll need to charge a little extra for my time and materials, plus return postage to you.

Please PM me through the Forum if you're interested. Limited quantity.

Thanks, Denny

 

 

In the SAAC 2020 annual magazine, there's a wonderful article on Leo Beebe. the article begins on page 46and runs through page 54. Thanks Rick Kopec for this interesting historical background and interview with Mr. Beebe.
On page 54 at the bottom right of the page, there's a photo of Beebe along with Ray Geddes and Carroll Shelby. In Beebe's left hand, he's holding a couple copies of something that appears to be titled GT-350 with the CS logo on top border.
Can any of you "Literature Collectors" identify what Leo's holding. Thanks, Denny 

Can anyone tell from these photos if this is an original 715 for a GT-350? Thanks in advance. Denny

My copy of the 2020 Annual arrived here in South Carolina yesterday in the mail. I was waiting for someone to post the subject here on the Forum so I could say mine has arrived, but no one has yet. I'll be the first. Did you receive yours?
