Question for Brant, s2ms, and jk66gt350, since all of yours were assembled on March 1, are the casting dates on the case and tailshaft the same too?

My block looks like a 5 year old stamped it too. BTW mine is also early Dec cast for late April build.

Just saw Greg and his '66 last night at a show. Super guy.

Great. Thanks all.

What would be the acceptable date code for Holley carbs on 66 GT350's in relation to build date at SA. Since they were installed at SA, there would have to be lag time for Holley to build, ship, inventory at SA, and wait to use up available stock. Late April build.

Thanks,
Tom

Has anybody heard from Randy? I've texted him several times but no response. He hasn't been on this site in a while either.

Do you think they were discounting the '65 over the "brand new" '66

Yes, Young Motors Ford was the Ford dealer in Charlotte. That's where my car came from.

sharpened it a little

Kinda fun article. I wonder who now owns it
Hopefully text is readable.

Thanks Bob, internally they are both the same (jets, nozzles, etc?)

I have 2 different 3259 carbs. I realize neither of these are SA assembly line units, but what are the differences based on the numbers?

Thanks,

I was removing my gauge cluster and noticed the rubber cushions on the attaching screws was deteriorating. Does anyone know where to get these? Could they be a hardware store item, maybe a rubber grommet?

Thanks,
Tom

Steve is a great guy. I've known him since the early 80's and it's because of him, and that car, I have one now. In fact Steve went with me to check mine out pre purchase. He is one of the top "go to" guys in So Cal for all things Shelby. He also is a judge at the Pebble Beach Concours de Elegance... he knows his stuff.
