SAAC Forum

I am helping to install a 1966 package tray in a 1965 fastback.  I noticed in the current Shelby American Annual a few pictures of the wood reinforcing.  I have a few questions:

1. How far back from the front is the lateral wooden support and how is it attached?
2. Is the self screwed only along the top or the lower trim panel, and is it screwed into the front edge of the lower trim panel as well?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Just received my Annual.  SAAC, thanks very much!

Need some help reading the clock code on my 1967 GT-350.  Thanks in advance.

I noticed a small vertical crack on my drivers seatback.  I thought there was a thread on someone who repairs the seatbacks.  I did a search and came up empty.  Does someone know of a company/person that repairs seatbacks?

Thanks,

Over  the years I have seen different looking oil dip sticks in use and advertised for sale, all to be correct for 1966 and 1967 GT-350's respectively.  I did a quick Forum search and did not find what I was looking for.  Therefore, I decided to ask the question, what is the correct oil dip stick for 1966 and 1967 Gt-350's?

Below, are the oil dip sticks from my cars.  The upper is from my 1966, which I bought in 1992 from the second owner.  It has no Ford logo or part number

The lower is from my 1967, which I bought in 1987.  The car had numerous owners.  It has the FoMoCo logo in a rectangle, the letter "M" a small distance from the logo, and no part number.  This dip stick is a tad longer than the 1966.

My question is, are these correct for each car?

Thanks,

I am sure this has been asked before, but could not find the answer by searching. 

What is the correct rivet color for the VIN tag?

According the latest 1967 Registry, GT-350 oil caps were chrome and had either FoMoCo in an oval or a stamped Autolite depending on production time frame. 

My question is, would either of the oil caps pictured with Autolite stamped on them be correct for a June production at SA?

Discovered this crack in my intake manifold at #8 cylinder intake port.  I believe I am now in the market for a S2MS intake manifold.  Do not really want to buy a reproduction. Hopefully, someone has a good used one or NOS piece.

Are these the correct trap door bumpers for 1966, or are they for 1967 and up?  I have seen them advertised as 1966 bumpers.

Thanks.

While checking out the 1966 Shelbys in Concours at SAAC 46, I noticed both style radiator hose clamps were being used.  I was wondering if there is a clear change over date from the tower style clamp to the stapled wire clamps.  I would suspect the first 252 cars had tower clamps, but curious about the change.

Thanks,

Need to replace the backup light gaskets on my '67.  Were assembly line gaskets grey or black.  I have seen both on cars.

Somewhere in the plating process my choke cable nut that secures the cable to the bracket got lost.  Does anyone have an extra to purchase or know where I might buy one? 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I did a search on the scoop attachment, but either there is not a thread, or I am not using the correct wording.

What I would like to know, was any type of strip caulk or sealer used between the scoop and body?

Thanks,
