Title: Question on some ‘68 Spares
Post by: billmunny on August 30, 2022, 04:14:54 PM
I sold my '68 Shelby GT500 some time ago but found the old Holley and bell housing off the 4sp; worth anything or are these basic Ford parts?

Thanks for any help!

Bell housing

Definitely not the correct carburetor for a 68 500 or any Shelby

Bell housing is pretty valuable, even with the missing pivot.  Good date for a '67.

It would be helpful to see the numbers on the air horn of the carburetor.

The vacuum port coming out of base plate of carb indicates it is not any kind of factory Holley carb for cars of the 6o's.

Carb looks like an 850 double pumper. It has a 50 cc secondary accelerator pump. 4781 list #. Definitely not factory and probably too much carb for a stock 68 GT500.

Thanks so much for the comments.

The list 4780-2 carb came off my '68 GT500 which in fact didn't run right until I switched the carb and now I recall the bell housing came off my '67 GT500..both cars are since long gone. ☹️

Thanks again for the help with my old spares.

The last other items I found in the garage are these below. Is this an AC pulley and do the numbers denote a date of any sort?

Thanks again for your help!

No, it's the smog pump, smog pump filter housing and smog pump air tubes that go into the cylinder heads.  The tubes are for a 68-70 big block(can work on a 67), pump doesn't appear to be for a 67 big block.  68-on pump is different.

The smog filter canister is not for a big block ether . Lopo 289 most likely.

Pump and air filter canister are from earlier build Mustangs most likely 67 small block given the details like the cap cover on the pump
