What brand/manufacturer makes the best G.T. 350 H side stripes?

Is the Dill 627 the correct valve stem cap for the chrome Magnum 500 wheels?

 My supposedly NOS taillight emblem has been stored inside for years. It has developed a red color hue or iridescence. Has anyone else encountered this?

Does the negative cable from the battery to the starter take 1 or 2 bracket/grommets? If 2, do both attach to the motor mount?

Were all door strikers stamped with the month-date on the post for March 66 Shelby's? If so, how far in advance of the build date is usual for the date on the strikers?

Does the rubber fuel hose from the fuel line to the fuel pump have and script or labeling on it?

Same question for the hose at the fuel sender.

What was the assembly line finish on the firewall pad fasteners for San Jose cars built in early 1966?

Thanks.

Looking to find out the most correct pcv rubber hose to use on a March built '66 Shelby. For example, is it ribbed or alligator finish and what approximate outside diameter is it? According to what I have seen in pictures here and what I have read here, there could be a difference in hoses on the engines assembled at Ford with the hose attached and those cars where the hose was installed at SAI.

Thank you.
   

I am looking for a picture  and wiring diagram of the wire connections for the Shelby tach for a 66 built in March. I have my original dash wiring loom and it has splices with the original tach wires wire spliced in with crimp on red butt connectors. My tach has been rewired and I want to make sure I get the wiring right and as close to original as possible. My tach has a red, blue and a black wire.

Thanks for the help. 

Looking for a NOS thermostat housing for a 1966 289. I thin it is marked C40 and has the cast in groove for the thermostat.

2 sets of Ford small block head gaskets. One set is new. One set was test fit but engine was not run.
$70 for all 4. Plus shipping.

Looking to find the material for covering the wires on a 66 Shelby tach. The i.d. of the plastic sleeve or cover is about 3/8". Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am looking for a picture or diagram of the Tri Y original header gaskets used at Shelby around March of 66.

I am trying to find a pair of these or good substitute.

I am looking for an original High Performance Manual as shown in the picture below of a reproduction one.

Would there be a point deduction in the Concours Trailered class if a Hertz car did not have wheel weights on the Magnum 500 wheels?

These questions regard a March 1966 Shelby Hertz. 

At delivery to the first Hertz rental location would a car have had the paper tags for radiator, battery (other than the white sticker near the battery), and the paper instruction and warning tags in the passenger compartment?

Would a Hertz car have had the instruction sheet for maintaining and cleaning the plexiglass side windows in the glovebox?

Did the Hertz cars have 1966 Mustang Owner' Manuals with the red stamped "Void For G.T. 350"? If so, which pages were stamped?

Was the 1966 Mustang Owner's Manual filled out with Hertz as the purchaser?

Thank you!

These questions concern the export mounting bracket at the cowl for March built 66 Shelbys.

My L angle mounting bracket was skip welded to the cowl. Was this the way it was done?
I suppose it was done that way to not warp the cowl.

It was obvious the worker beat the heck out of the cowl before mounting it. I am surprised he didn't damage the cowl. After it was welded it was heavily coated on all four sides and over the face of it with what looks like a brown seam sealer. Then it was painted over.

How was this bracket painted? Spray can, brush or out of a gun?

Thanks.

I am looking for a new, never installed NOS only running horse emblem for the 66 style glove box door.

Did the original tachometer have a grommet where the wires pass through the mounting bracket? Mine does not have a grommet; just a hole in the mounting bracket.

My 66 Shelby had about 10 alignment shims per side used with the upper control arms. Did 66 Shelbys use more shims since they had the longer pitman and idler arms?

Here is a picture of brake "wing" hardware. These are also called cable anchors. Does anyone know which (if any) of these was used on March 1966 built Shelbys?  The assembly manual shows the wing style anchor used on rear drum brakes.

The hole for the mounting stud on each of these shown in the picture is 1/2" which is too small to install over the 3/4" mounting stud on the backing plate without enlarging it.

I have also attached a picture of my rear brakes with a modified (drilled out) cable anchor installed. I am pretty sure my brakes never had a cable anchor.

Feedback on what these came like from SAI in 66?
