Thanks Bob

My mistake. 1/24/67 at San Jose (Ford) and 2/16/67 at Shelby.

Car was finished at San Jose, 2/16/67.  #0786

I do have a spare C7OE-9430 manifold with 6M15 date. Was sitting in the back of my car when it was rescued 20 years ago.  It's in great condition but should be bead blasted and surfaced at a machine shop.  Remember, no manifold gaskets needed so it is a good idea to surface them.  I also know of a good trick (don't shoot me concours guys), you can apply a little dab of copper high temp gasket maker to each head port surface and they will also seal up nice for stubborn leaks. 

My car came from a life in southern Texas and southern Arkansas and had no rust, there is no pitting on this single manifold.  Not really looking to sell but if someone is in a bind and needs it let me know.  Maybe someone out there needs just one manifold, who knows?  I bought a matching set from Bob Gaines (which worked great) so don't need this single manifold.

Guys,
What are the correct bolts, washers, and nuts for the four fasteners on the cowl for the export brace?  I can only find aftermarket junk online and I'm sure that mine are not correct since the bolts appear too long (but who knows maybe I am wrong).

Pretty sure this car never existed except for one that found its way to Tasca.  Z Code, sure strikes me as a 390 car that has been repowered.   Cool car but I sure wouldn't believe that it is factory ordered, especially with that VIN.  Buyer beware

Which one will I need Bob?
Thanks!

Getting ready to buy a pump from someone on this forum.  What pump pulley do I need to get for a AC car, GT500?  I know a 7AB is correct for non AC car, but Is a 7AB wrong for an AC car?  My AC is vintage air not original, my car started as a non AC car but I live in Arizona so having a car without AC is not possible.  Right now I have a 7AD on the current pump which is not the pump with the correct return nipple.

anyone know of a source for a HBA BH power steering pump? 

Speedometer is restored by the top speedometer shop in AZ.
Yes I used 26.1 tire diameter as you and got the same answer.   I need to confirm the drive gear.

Guys,
I am having difficult getting my speedometer to read anywhere close to actual speed.  It's reading about 20-25% under the actual speed.  I know my differential ratio as it is newly rebuilt (all new) and I know my tire size.   I used the online calculators and it told me to buy a pink tooth gear (19 tooth).  What am I missing?  With 3.50 ratio differential, 4 speed, and 235 60 15 tires.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what paint brand/color/code to use to paint it? I have read conflicting information on whether they are semi-gloss or satin black? 

Oh he thinks NOS stands for "Not Original Sh!t" lol

What's the eBay username
Need to block that guy

That radiator support  shouldn't be painted either. 
Nice driver none the less but why not just disclose it's true history.
