I think we need 5/16-18 X 5/8 thread so we need to drill the hole a bit larger to use an insert or?

How do you rethread these when the hole size is the same? Helicoils?

Exactly the same problem with my clutch. So the repros are not that much concours like they told us. It really sucks. I´m not sure if someone will reproduce them again?

Blast it with glassbeads that should give you the finish you need. The right choice of size of the beads and pressure will show you the right way. Maybe polish the hidden underside before and try it there then first. Maybe a walnut media can also help but I think in your case its to soft. I would use walnut maybe to make the fresh blasted surface look a little bit smoother.

Thank you that was in the AMK Kit as well but I have 2 different styles that were also taken from 67 Mustangs and seen on Shelby´s. I will post pictures when I have a minute. Thank you very much Tim.

Yes the head markings, the bolt size is also odd from what I figured out.

I have a C7ZX-A Clutch here and the threads are different to attach the fan. Which bolt is the correct one for this clutch? I have seen 3 different types and I´m not sure.

Still searching for the correct size and maybe a vendor who will sell them. Does someone here is able to measure them? Thank you....

Which phosphate is closer to correct 60s Ford? Magnesium or Zinc. And who wants to share his recipe.

ok I hope I dont mess it up with my translation etc.

"Improved Handling Package" in a Mustang was this not just another name for the GT handling Package or lets say a sentence used for changes in the suspension?

Ignitor1 1.5-3.0 ohm
Ignitor2 0.45-1.5 ohm
Ignitor3 0.32-0.6 ohm

Lower resistance will burn down your coil and higher resistance will make less spark on the spark plugs

One question didnt Shelby owned all our cars before they left LAX? So maybe all our cars were first ownership by Carroll Shelby   

I´m a collector and classic car dealer. I owned a lot of cars sometimes just for some weeks and sometimes when the owners resell them after years they say owned by Kent Classic Cars even if it was just some months just that they can prove it was in real good hands before they bought it and the car is coming from a good source with knowledge.

Yes it's really difficult. I would prefer the original look but I dont want to spend over 2500$ on the exhaust  just to have it original in bare metal and then it start to rust like crazy.

Yes maybe I go with a Magnaflow or Pypes in stainless. It's really difficult to find something that is looking stock and making a good job.

Thank you Bob thats a very good info. Ok so I´m now really limited as I drive and use the Shelby. The Scott Fuller Parts are top notch definitely but for a driven Shelby even if it's just maybe 100-200 miles a year it's difficult. What would be the closest to stock exhaust incl downpipe / H pipe to buy at the moment thats sound nice. I like the idea of having something like the exhaust from Waldron/ Arvinode as they are just tubes and have no real muffler.
