Hi everyone,
I have this throttle linkage rod and I don't know if it is original or reproduction and if it's correct for a 67 Shelby GT500?
It was silver zinc plating or metal grey coating ?

Thanks Kyle.

It would be the same as 67 390 Mustang. 13 1/2 inches long. I have seen them phosphate and oil or satin not shiny silver .

Thanks Bob,
For all the information.
So the 390GT linkage is the same as the GT500?

Here is a better photo.

Ok thanks everyone , I will try to find a 7AB pulley.

Ok thanks , so my pulley for my car need's to be 7AB?
I bought a complete  power steering pump with pulley, but I think the pulley is not correct for my car.
Here is my pulley.

My car doesn't have AC.

What is the correct power steering pump pulley for a Mustang 1967 Shelby GT500 ?

Thanks Kyle.

Thanks Jeff, for all that information and photos.

These photos that you post are very likely the same like mine.

The only problem that is very different are these brackets. I think that these were a modification by a past owner. The chrome rings of the guages has 3 semi curved holes and the brackets are not original.
Kyle.
Look at these photos.

Thanks for everyone for the information.

Since we are on the gauge pod .... any body seen or heard about the amp and oil press gauges swapped around for visibilty to the driver ?

I had an owner tell me it was a Calif thing.... when you move the oil press to the right side, its easier for the driver to see... and who cares about amps......

When I got my '67 in San Diego, the gauges were swapped this way.... bass ackwards.

That is a new one as 67 urban legends go .at least for me. I have not seen or heard of factory memos etc to indicate that it ever was implemented. If it was something that made sense in CA then SA would have implemented it for all 67 Shelby's. It would be one less thing to get confused about from a procedural build stand point. The outboard light change over comes to mind. As it stands it sounds like another urban legend example to justify a non original modification.

Thanks Bob

Correct in the style (screws used for retaining the face plate)

Quote from: Kyle on August 12, 2021, 02:24:40 PMI will plug that hole of the oil pressure hose  because it's not original from factory. I don't have screws on  the 2 trim rings of the guages I don't know Why?
Even I don't have that big hole in the midle of the pod why?

Appears that that is likely another confirmation that you have a reproduction assembly. If someone had one new in the box from whomever is currently or recently has been making them we could then compare yours and theirs but so far its looking like a number of features are not matching originals. And that was the original question for the thread

J_Speegle, are you looking for these numbers ?
I am not 100% if my guage pod is reproduction the looks like there was restord.

Thanks Rich,
Kyle

While I don't have many close up photos, my photo files support Jeff's estimate (when the face plate with screws start appearing).
It appears they start sometime in the 200s VIN range. In the 300s I'm starting to see the screws on the face plates.

Just remember cars were not completed in VIN order, so you have to look at the dates.
It DOES seem that Kyle's car would have the screws as it was completed in late January.
This is only my guess based on my current collection of photos.
It does not cover all '67's and includes some that have been restored.

These are the dates on the MartiReport.
Here are some photos.

Thanks for everyone.
So to be correct my guage pod needs need to be no screws in the center face plate?
Anyone have photos of an early guage pod please?
Thanks Kyle.

J_Speegle,
Thanks for your photos .
Here are some more photos to see the difference.

Kyle.
