Have a 65 A-code that had a Grant steering wheel installed that utilizes its own version of the Ford signal cam cancel part that slipped on spline of old steering wheel. Am putting a 65GT350 replica 6 bolt adapter and steering wheel back on the car and was able to locate a really nice turn signal cancel cam piece from Brad that fits the backside of my adapter. Assembly mounts and turn signal works like it should. Even the turn signal cancel cam does its job and cancels the left/right turn when the wheel is turned the appropriate way. However, if the turn signal is moved to a left turn position and the wheel is turned to the left, I see the turn lever jump as though the plastic turn signal mechanism is engaging the cancel cam. I can even hear it as well as see lever move. Same happens with a right turn.
I have another car and when left turn signal is initiated and wheel is turned left, all is quite and the signal lever does not move until wheel is turned back to right.
Even moved the quiet wheel and adapter to the noisy car and its still noisy so I don't think its the adapter or cancel cam. Any suggestions? I don't remember ever seeing or hearing the turn signal lever act this way.

Ignition mechanismnot allowing key to fully return to "on" position after being turned to the "Start" position. Keeps starter energized and spinning with flywheel/flexplate. New ignition assembly should help.

Hollie and I have both raised you and your wife up in our prayers when you gave me the call couple weeks ago about your condition. I had no idea such damage could be caused by something we typically take for granted. Hopefully it was a valve from a Texas Longhorn.....Plano is literally down the highway from my hometown. Continued prayers to you and your wife my friend.

Anyone running JBA 6610S stainless steel long tube headers on their manual steering 65/66 Mustang? Interested to see amount of clearance between number 5 tube and the pitman arm with steering wheel turned fully to left. Pictures would be terrific. Have a 65 with these headers and clearance between number 5 and pitman is minimal with left turn....If can't get pics, give me estimate of clearance 1/2" or whatever...

Part found. Thanks Brad.

Car has a Grant steering wheel installed and horn is failing. Grant uses couple roll pins to cancel turn signal. Original cancel cam was removed and is gone. Have a repop wheel boss for 6-bolt wheel that is identical to the 65 GT350 adapter. I need the Ford turn signal cancel cam that attaches to the adapter. Anyone have one?
Believe its part number C5ZZ-13318

Update, pulled covers off seat base and found crack in base right where the back adjuster is. Here is a picture of the crack.
Now off to shop to fix it and put covers back on.

PM me with what you might have and price.

Thought about that but the adjuster should not be that far out just to get seat back to where you can sit in seat without laying down. Longer bolt will not fix problem. Am thinking rear of seat frame is bent or weld giving it up.

I have never taken a front seat apart, but am about to dive into it.
Even though the seat back adjustor bolt is extended, the Pass seat leans back excessively. I run out of adjustor before seat back is in a "normal" position. And then, seat back is really spongey. Am looking at the seat back adjustor plate that has the 2 screws connecting it to the seat frame. Really looks like the plate is sunk into the seat frame quite a bit. From pictures I have seen, the tube that comprises the seat base frame appears to be on same plane. However, this tube seems to have a "dip" in rear which appears to allow the plate to be at a deep angle. Anyone ever have this type problem and other than replacing the seat base frame, what did you do to fix it?

Have a reproduction ignition switch in a 65 A-code that will not easily allow key to return to on position after start. Anyone have a nice original one sitting around looking for a new home? Would like to have matching tumbler and key if possible.
Please PM me as I have cluster ready to go back in and want to fix this sooner rather than later.
Thanks

Valve cover rivet.

Nope, just press fit. Here is a picture of the rascal.

Its the plastic socket with two wires. It has segmented areas that used to create holding friction but over time, the metal to plastic has eroded the socket and it will not stay in place. Think its .625 diameter. The metal sockets have the tabs and they are holding strong. The plastic socke4ts are the problem.
