Buy 2 lift plates, and attach to both carb locations, that's what I did, makes life real simple and easy

The Mac lift plate is a adjustable one and not statationary. It is not designed to be used in tandom. I am not sure how you would use that style in tandom.  http://www.macscustomtiedowns.com/category/PiVOT-and-Adapters

Thanks for the great replies everyone!

I still need to know if the lift plate goes on the front or rear carb location or does it matter?

Torque converter should be in next week with mid 50 to mid 70 temperatures outside.   That is great Texas outdoor weather!

Its a matter of positioning the lift plate in the "center" of the intake manifold so that the engine is relatively level when suspended. This is not an issue with a single carburetor. With the dual 4 setup, you might have to get creative to position the lift plate in the center.

Hope this helps.

Lacquer thinner works just as well, and won't dissolve your gloves, as for the  "other" problem, you are on your own!  Thank God my wife embraces the hobby, heck she drives the street race car, 67 Fairlane R Code Clone, NO PS, NO PB, and 650 HP.  All 115 ilb's of her.

I have several restored in excellent condition, correct color black pulleys for the 428 CJ/SCJ and 390 GT

1. Rare 390 GT power steering pulley "AC", $80.00 plus the ride

2.Rare 428 CJ "AF" power steering pulley for 428 with A/C, $200.00 plus the ride.

3.428 Water Pump Pulley 3 sheave, excellent condition , correct color black, $200.00 plus the ride.

4. Crank pulley, excellent condition, correct color black for the 427 Cobra or 390 GT, $85.00 plus the ride.

I am very sorry that you feel this way.  The reality  is that I have been having fun with the thread, carrying on and on with the outlandish thoughts, in an attempt to be humorous , just carrying on from what the poster that first brought up the Russians, then another with Putin.

Since others seemed to "get" that I was goofing off, based upon their outlandish replies, I never thought that there was any harm.

Once again, without the benefit of actually hearing the inflection in ones voice, because this is the written word, statements can be mistaken  as for their "real" purpose.

As for taking advantage  by my story of the car, that is  a total falsehood.  I HAVE not related on ANY public board, what I related to you in private, about anything to do with the car,,, how then am I trying to take advantage??

Just as I related to you the information on the car, I would do so again, to as many people who would put out an inquiry about the car.  As I would fell obligated to do so, as I did for you, and was thanked by you for doing so.

  My statement is enough,  to be just what I related, if more and more people inquire about the car, then maybe one day the car might become available , at what I consider to be reasonable, THAT is as far as I will go on the subject, as I've inferred way too much already, in defending myself.

I have no interest in blackmailing anyone, now that is a conspiracy statement!!

I offered to you, to forward ALL of the emails from him to me, I have nothing to hide, these emails would confirm his  un- trustworthiness , you declined, I assume, as you didn't ask for them.  I also related to you the "other" individuals who were not trustworthy, and actually hindered the goings on btw. him and I.  These statements would have been confirmed, by ALL of the emails that I saved, from 4 years ago on this car.

There was   no  offense intended with the "not perfect English", just another way of "spicing up" the yarn.

I was interested in knowing who the dealer was, as the last time he and I spoke on the phone, he told me he no longer owned the car, that it had been sold to a person in Germany, now it seems to be available again, AND  apparently AGAIN in Italy, this of course peaked my interest.  Just trying to see if his lies were continuing.

In closing, I am sorry if you felt I was being unkind to you, you were a complete gentleman in your emails, AND I thought you were wise  to understand what I related to you.

American humor.

OK, every ones post count goes down when a thread is deleted.  That doesn't explain the weak excuse for the delete, 99.9% of posters, I would say/assume, would leave a post up, even though there is no longer a need for further replies.

He received information that was beneficial to him, why not come on and say I received the info, no further replies are necessary, or just leave it be?

No we have a secret clique, possibly, full of shadowy behind the scenes plotting, to throw interested parties of the scent, of a rare, AND missing GT 500KR, a car that has gone unnoticed, and not recorded with definitive information on ownership for over 30 years!  "Enquiring" minds want to know.

CSX 3183,

I didn't want to go into sterile polemics but now you are really exaggerating and I have to defend myself:

1) I cancelled the post with no second end. I thought this was the best solution due to the fact I had received the information I needed: I already apologised for that and, please, stop speaking about conspiracies and strange theories that are better suited for the X-files movie than for a Shelby forum;

2) It's not me, but you that is trying to take advantage from your story about the car: you should remember that after I thanked you for the information about the car, you wrote me a mail where you asked me for the name of the dealer and you wrote me that ... "if enough people find out it's history, and investigate the condition, and realize that the car is certainly not worth a great deal of $, based upon the cost to restore, I might be able to pick it up for a "song". And at the end of your mail you also told me that ... "This dealer, I feel is the same as I dealt with, he is not trustworthy". So before giving you the name of the dealer and let you blackmail him in order to to pick up the car for a "song" I want to speak with him and hear his story. This because in Europe this dealer has a solid reputation in the vintage car market.

3) I have nothing to hide and because you think that removing the old thread represents who knows what crime, I hereby officially ask to the moderator to put it on line again.

I hope to have definitely clarified the whole matter in my "not perfect english", as you specified before in this thread. That's because, as I wrote you in my mail, I'm Italian and not a english native speaker.

Regards

Well now, what a nice polite and concise explanation of a very innocent action by the original poster.  Designed to fully explain the MYSTERY of the inquiry of this particular GT 500KR, thread being missing, and complete with an apology if, as being a newbie, he may have committed a faux pas.

My what a clever ruse, unfortunately, the commission/syndicate/black ops or evil doers, didn't carefully cover their tracks.  You see this site is very well put together, affording the users a wealth of information, all one needs to do is to look for that information.

When I read the explanation, something in it's style of writing, there was of course just a hint of not perfect English, correct for someone from Europe , BUT there was the glaring fact that after I received a very nice and complimentary thank you from the original poster , via our exchange of emails, I answered and asked a couple of questions as to where the car was now located, and he had indicated that a dealer was trying to sell it, and I asked the name of the dealer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,  nothing but SILENCE.

Upon this explanation, and a lack of civility, my conspiracy idea reared it's ugly head.

\So I clicked on the posters name, then on posts, and lo and behold, this poster has ONLY one post, this post, the explanation!

The supposed "original" post is not listed , I'm afraid that the cover up is continuing, nefarious characters are among us,  throwing out snippets of information in an attempt to throw us off of the hunt, or keep us silent.

All with the intended goal of obtaining this rare car for a song and a dance.

Members unite in not allowing  forces in the underbelly of society to win!

Good should prevail over slight of hand black market evil doers or cliques.

Another  Trumpism, you mean fake news, no I was speaking of the other 2 shooters, grassy knoll, and the one from the building from behind the motorcade

Seriously, I believe I have figured it out, too many simiilarities in this fishing expedition, posters gone, emailers not returning emails, all hush,, hush, existance wiped from the earth, expunged into an Abyss  BUT the car lives on, in some form, somewhere

Right, and there was only one gun man in Dallas.

Oh I still have his email, but WHY would the original poster remove a post about looking for info on a car, doesn't make sense, and if it doesn't make sense, as Judge Judy say's, it ain't true

Somethings afoot here, , Russians, I think not, Putin, not likely, Gestapo, possibly, or as simple as an underground select informed group/individual, with knowledge of the wear a bouts of said car, anticipating to score this car, on the black market, at a GREATLY reduced priced, for their own purchase, to slowly bring the car back to concours condition, which would be possible, if the initial price was low enough.

Last price I was aware of was WAY too high, to make it feasible purchase.

"Enquiring "minds want to know, AND especially, why a post by me, on a public board, would be removed for no apparent reason!!

When I look back on my history, and I find a entry that says an error has occurred, or you are banned from viewing, WHAT is that all about???

That is not it, that post is in plain sight, this is in reference to a question about anyone with information on 8T02R206062-02589.

I am the original owner, someone came on an answered that I sold the car to him, and a 65 350, which was totally false, I answered the original poster and said I'd be happy to fill him in, as he was thinking of buying it, gave my email, he wrote, I explained all about the car, history from day one until my last contact with the car about 2014, when the 2nd poster had the car, before it was shipped overseas.

So WHY is this thread removed?

What happened to the post from yesterday, searching for info on GT 500 KR, which had a least 2 replies, one from me, is there a reason it was removed???

Moderator??

Well with the further detail, it sounds like a Real Mc Coy, and I'd say a fair price.  I've seen several 9000 tachs for much more than 300

That was not my inference, simply put, if there was work being done, and you have information that the program was supposed to carry on, it would be nice to see/read all of that, so we can all say " boy, it's a crying shame that it all ended, just look what was in the pipeline"
