Here is the letter from SA.

Sending a couple of pictures of an automatic 67 GT350 3259 carburetor. Have a copy of a letter from SA
saying that all cars after 6S800 will be equipped with the Autolite carb.

Are you talking about the Thermactor system?

6S923 original 3259 is dated 581.

What I have been told is that the GT350 valve showed 8 treads and was painted black.
The one that came in my car (5S275) when I bought it in Feb.1988 is dated 39-5.
Never checked the treads on it when replaced it in 1990. Don't remember if it was black or just rusty.
My Swedish friend rebuilt the original and I painted it black and adjusted it to 8 treads.
Haven't put it into the car yet.

Hi Bob,
I was mistaken. The article was in The Shelby American, Sept-Oct 1979, Volume 4 Nuber 5, Page 9.
It was sent to Jeff Burgy by Roger Hodyka

Hi Paul,
Have you changed the area code in your phone number or just fat fingers.

If I were you, I would make sure I had the 6-inch Idler arm and Pitman arm respectively before ordering any replacements.

I had a similar problem on my 3259 and it turned out to be the adjustment of the flaps. It sucked gas through the groove
and I adjusted the flaps with the tiny screw that can only be seen with the carb turned upside down.
After that the carb has worked fine and reacting to the idle screws.

Hi guys,
I have attached a page showing the rear brake parts for 65/66 GT350's. It was published in "The Marque" in the end of the seventies or beginning of the eighties. Don't know if I am correct on the name but I believe it was Roger Hodyka.

Thanks Drew, Can you please reserve a set for me so I can send it to Rolamd in Sweden.
You have my phone number from earlier conversations.

Hi guys,
My friend Roland in Sweden is looking for original linkage between the #2804 and #2805 Carburetors or some great pictures showing the original linkage with measurements for his 67 GT500 4-speed. He found the original intake and reissue of the carburetors together with bellhousing and SPEC rear axle pumpkin and some other parts from Kent in Germany.
Can anybody help him?
Thanks, Texas Swede

Good morning,
I checked two Production Orders and the 402F package (thermactor) had a tube listed and the second 400F
package (no thermactor) had none which probably means the oil filler tube was included with the intake part number in that case.

Thanks guys,

Hi guys,
Did all 1967 Shelby GT500 come with the oil filler tube inserted in a hole in the passenger side front end of the C7ZX aluminum 8-V intake manifold or were there exceptions like Thermactor equipped cars. The reason I ask is that I have seen pictures of cars with them and without them. Also seen manifolds with a plug instead of the tube,
