I saw that
Great find....did he have a story?
He Bought it long time ago in pa no idea what it was . or who it came from. still has remains of the original intake gaskets ..... car 301 maybe?
There is no record of any 1968 GT350s getting it, so it's a guess at best.
Could be an owner install?
Now that's interesting :) Great conversation piece.
Pete. I've never seen an ad for the sale of these units to the general public. Do you have such an ad in your collection? Guess I should look at your site ::) since if you had one it would likely be posted there
I probably have it here somewhere 😁

Interesting piece, great find!

With ports like those, that can't be just a regular production Ford intake? What is it?
Its the S2MS aluminum intake with Conelec fuel injection installed
serial number /?

high tech !
Thete are only three or four original sensor boxes known...
I have seen similar numbers - probably inventory
Cleaned it up to make it a little easier to read the numbers.

Interesting device. It isn't a mechanical FI and yet to be an electronic FI it would need the ability to vary the fuel by demand.
How can you do that without a CPU or at least an oxygen sensor?
On mechanical system of the time, you "changed the pill". That was essentially a fuel jet. I don't remember electronic injectors in that time frame?
Conelec only built less then half a dozen of these? Was it his hobby?
No, it was a company that employed hundreds of people. They built electric fuel pumps and EFI systems for boats and cars.
Shelby planned to use 8,000 of the systems on their cars at one time.
The system uses a computer. That is a separate unit not shown above.
It's a great find! Congratulations, unfortunately Conelec didn't record specific vehicles these were installed on, that information comes from SAAC inventory sheets.

You should look on the Coralsnake website and click on the link, lots of information available there.

The pump-o-lator! Extremely rare. You are on a roll.

filter cover base has magnet to capture those pump bits that get away
looks like a blower motor adapted to be a fuel pump

Pete/Phil,
Are the Conelec fuel injection pumps different than the ones they marketed in the 70s for carbureted cars?
Dave
Yes, these pumpulators were much larger.
Pete,
Very interesting. What is lacking, based on these photos, for Phil to have a complete system? Would be cool as heck for him to be able to assemble a system for display, or better yet, a running engine with this system.
Thanks,
Dave
Let's see, he would need, to refurbish everything to working condition.
He would need fuel rails, a relay system, wiring, thermistor, a computer and a few other miscellaneous items.
It would be great if he could do it. Based on what he has found so far, he just might be able to! I wish him the best of luck.

And just to be clear pete has refused to share any info on those items
QuoteAnd just to be clear pete has refused to share any info on those items
I have shared more information than anyone.
Yes, I have elected not to sell parts for the last 12 years. The single exception being the Green Hornet.
It's not in my best interest to sell parts to people, so they can build Conelec systems and cars, when I am actively trying to buy an original car.
A car with an intact system is worth a lot more than one without it. That's just my opinion.
I have turned down multiple offers to sell systems. Believe me when I tell you if I had accepted those offers, I could have purchased any 68 or 69 Shelby I wanted. I even had an offer to sell everything, which is mostly paperwork, for a very significant amount.
It's nothing directed at anyone in particular.
Hopefully, that clarifies the situation

Continue your search, Pete. You are doing what anyone else of us would do, in your shoes.
Some things are more important than money.
