I'm going with a bad turn signal switch again. I've heard the aftermarket ones are not that great, and because of the extra current draw from more bulbs on a '67 Shelby they burn out faster. I also heard the trick to keep the aftermarket switch from burning out it to switch to led lamps.

That's ok. I appreciate your idea and thought it would work.  It was really stuck on there!  Nice to meet you. Great car! 

A big thanks to Bob Gaines, I was really struggling getting my steering wheel off, tried the knee pressure trick, latest was shoe strings attached to a a puller and many others with no success. Then ran across past post from Bob talking about using an air hammer. Finally came off!  Thanks!  That's what makes the forums so great.

I just finished getting our car ready for the French Lick event. Excited for it!

Welcome to the group. I just finished restoration on #706. 

Cleaned up the car after driving back from the car show. Put on the lift, found the oil filter adapter gasket leaking and ps pump leaking from the big nut on the back. I'll try tightening it up. As for the gasket ordered a new one.

Super Super sorry everyone somehow the post didn't show up on my timeline. I didn't mean to pressure anyone or get anyone up set. That's not what this hobby is about.

Ok sounds good. All good things come to those who wait. I appreciate you guys and all your hard work!

It's been a few months so I thought I'd bring it up again.

#706 just finishing 5 year restoration.

Shelby man, it's hard to say I've never ran into this before which makes me think it's the type of fuel. 67 Gt350, I have seen those before not real interested in something to use all the time just will put on a regular type for storage and leave it popped open.

Hey I think it's weird too that's why I bring it up. First time using this fuel in a storage type situation. And wondering if anyone else runs into it. I put a piece of rubber ( thin ) between the cap and Filler neck and the vapor built up enough pressure when I opened it later that day it popped opened and it the vapor rushed out. Have heated garage so temp is consistent for most part.

Pictures...what do you want a picture of?  The gas cap? 

I think part of it is the Sunoco fuel but in 2 months 3-4 gallons loss.  I've figured out a twist on cap that I can get to go flush to the pipe and have the pop cap open. Yes just for storage. No don't want to remove the tail lights etc to remove original cap.

It seems like I have so much fuel evaporation because I don't drive the car especially over the cold months, I'm wondering if I just install a non evap. Gas cap for storage. Does anyone else do it?  I use Sunoco Optima.
