I live just south of Gardena so I'll probably try to attend then head to the Edelbrock show in Torrance.

I just moved to the LA area but why isn't the other Malibu CnCs event, at the Bluffs, now the goto spot?

Also, I did find the wiring diagram for using Pertronix Ignitor 1 with a Faira tach. I haven't used these instructions though.

I ran an Ignitor 1 for many years on my '66 GT350 clone and about a year ago switched to the Ignitor 3. I believe '66 GT350s with original tach need special wiring since it's run inline but I'm running a reproduction 3 wire and it works fine. The Ignitor 1 can use the original yellow top coil but the Ignitor 3 MUST use the Flamethrower 3 coil, or another low-resistance coil. I always just match the Flamethrower coil to whichever Ignitor I'm using. Additionally, you'll see the Ignitor manuals recommend running a full 12V source to the positive coil. As you puruse various forums, you'll see that many people skip this step and it "works fine" but then you also have many people who have the Ignitor die on them. Most posters I've read who have problems did NOT run the new 12V wire. I've ran my Ignitor 1, bought in 2001 when they were supposedly poor quality, for years without troubles and 2 years ago I bought a new Ignitor 3 and it's been even better for hot start and RPM limiter.

The pink wire plugs into a bullet connector coming off the ignition; unplug this connection and secure the pink wire out of the way. Now run a new 12/14 gage wire from this bullet connector off the ignition to the positive post on the coil. The existing wire going to the positive post on the coil can be zip tied out of the way. With this setup you'll now be providing 12v during driving, instead of the approx. 7v through the pink wire, and during start you'll still have the full 12v supplied. This setup is also nice because you don't hack up the wiring harnesses and can easily switch back to points, if desired.

Good catch this being the '66 forum and OP mentioned he doesn't have a filter on the pump so assuming his '66.

Here is the correct fuel line for '65 GT350.

Looks like a hotel group rate has already been established for at least Thur through Sat nights (8/2-8/5). If you call the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Rafael Marin County (415-499-9222), select the option for a New Reservation, and then say you're with Shelby American Automobile Club, they offered $215+tax per night. On their website, the lowest I found was the AAA rate at $275/nt, so that's a decent discount.  This is for a king bed room with a fold-out sofa. They offer a full-refund cancellation policy up to 2 days before check-in.

Have dates been confirmed yet and will there be a hotel group discount?
