Thanks guys,
always good advice here.  will probably go with the Fel Pro seal. I am sure it will be fun
to get the cobra t-pan out of there. As far as my timing question basically just wondering
what cam gear type I would expect to see in a 66 hipo that has never been apart when it comes to
a nylon clad gear or not. A knowledgeable friend in my local Shelby club indicated it should have the
nylon type and needs to go.
again thanks.

Hi All
So my 66 Shelby is leaking more than I can live with at the rear main seal time to change it.
This will be done in the car with the 2 pc seal has anyone had consistent good luck with a particular brand
of seal so I don't have to do it twice? I may look at the timing chain as well , the car has 48k original miles
and its probably still the original one. My question is did K codes come with the nylon clad cam gear? if so it probably will need replacing. its been quite a while since since I had my last K code apart.
Thanks much!

Hi Guys,
thanks for taking the time to give your opinions.
sounds like a good company that I will give a try!

Morning All,
Just wondering if anyone has done business with West Coast Classic Couger?
Of course some Couger parts crossover with Mustangs , so just checking if
anyone had any thoughts on their experience.
thanks!

I can see it now
Minivan white with blue stripes

Hi All,
Its been quite a few years since we attended a SAAC convention and are planning for SAAC 50.
I don't remember if there was a swap meet or parts for sale area. Also none listed in the schedule of events unless I missed it.
Maybe there is not one , but if so would anyone know the day it would be?
thanks and see you there.
Dave
 

Hi All,
I have a friend who is looking for a driver quality 66 Shelby .
the ideal car would be solid driver with its original born with engine, Shelby tag, vin. etc.
Cash works or if you are interested, one or more of the following cars + cash as a trade .
2002 Viper ACR with 11K miles
1969 shelby GT500
1966 Mustang convertible. 
If you have any interest please drop me a personal message with a few details about your car and
I will be happy to pass them along to him.
thanks,
Dave

I also found one of these invitations in the paperwork folder that came with my 66 GT-350.
   The 66 was sold at Mel Burns Ford but the invite is High Performance Motors Ca.  With the
invitation is a heavy bond paper specification sheet for 1967 with an artist rendering of the 1967 Shelby
GT-350 on one side, on the back are more specs. and a see thru view of the car.  This may have been
something he just picked up at the dealer showroom.
Best,
Dave

I think Pinto's may have come with one.

It would really be nice if some of the Shelby folks who attended Mecum could post what
they saw regarding 6s2374 in person.  I am sure there were quite a few knowledgeable Shelby people
there and some reasons why the bidding stopped at 75K. With the work needed maybe thats all its worth.
It really makes me believe that the BAT auction previously was a lot of fake bidding.

I guess he will have to push it across the block unless he spends the time and money
to have it go under its own power at least. might get a few bucks more for it.

Hey thank you very much, With the bearing still installed I did not
realize that the axle diameter is stepped larger where the bearing locates.
that would explain it.
Dave

Hi all,
I was wanting to replace my axle bearings and where am I wrong?
I ordered skf bearing RW 207 CCRA which is supposed to be correct but the I.D. of
the bearing is 1.377 and the axle diameter where it is pressed on is 1.365 obliviously
not going to press on.  could anyone suggest a brand or know what part I need? 
The axle seal seems to be the correct size and I think it will seal , just completely
confused , any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dave

Now with the car cleaned up you can really see the work it needs.
My car is a little dusty, so I do need to find out who his auto detailer is so
I can raise my cars value 100K

   I guess we will have to wait for the next to last one made to come along.
