Check to see if the left front turn signal bulb is still good. If burned out, it may cause the problem you are experiancing.

Steve,

I don't think you could have found two better matched people than Joanne and Chuck. I know they had many very good years together. You can't hope to have more than that.

It was a very nice simple service. May Joanne rest in everlasting peace.

I got the chance to speak with Chuck at the church, I guess he is doing as well as can be expected. Also spoke with Dan R., Howard P. and Bill Caron.

Bret,

What was the Shelby VIN on that wreck? Thanks.

Hi Vann,

I responded to your PM to me. Short answer is 2011 '65 - '67 registry. Check out the PM for more.

Vann,

The early registries do not have much in the way of footnotes and really no information regarding ownership chains. That being said, the original owner was G. Yance of Stamford, CT. The 1982 registry lists the next owner as Jacques R. Miller (Mudelein, IL). The 1987 registry shows Peter Hoogheem as the owner. The next registry I have is from 2011 and it has the beginings of a real owner chain, but I'm sure you've seen that one. Jerry Hoos is the next listed owner, followed by John Bobowski as the last know owner. These individuals are all located in Illinois. I woud think that Howard Pardee could be of some help to you in your search for past history on the car.

FYI, the 1982 registry is a soft cover with multiple color photos. This registry was prone to falling apart, so what you may have seen is one that was recovered by a bookbinder. Hope this all helps.

NICE!

Roy,
Your car takes a C5DZ-4635-A rear u-joint. 1260-3 15/32" span.
The front is a C5DZ-4635-B. The same specs are listed. a good parts store should be able to convert those numbers to whats currently available.

Thanks, Marty. Best advice to work with yet.

Regular HiPo Mustang part. Sometimes you may encounter one that isn't the same width both directions. Those are 1310-1330. Crawl under with a tape and measure both widths and cup dia to make sure someone hasn't changed something over the years.
4635 is the number Ford used for all U joints. The C3AZ tells you the year and model used on. The last - A, B, etc may come into play C3AZ-4635 may be for a Falcon. C3AZ-4635-A could be for a V8 Falcon. C3AZ-4635-B could be for a HiPo V8 with 9" rear.
Just measure what you've got and hit a local real auto parts store.

You can click on the info and it'll give you the dimensions

98SVT, Thanks for the reply. FYI, I'm pretty familiar with the Ford numbering system, having delt with it since 1973. A C3AZ part was probably designed for Ford's Galaxy line but might have applcation elseware. That's why you need the MPC. Unfortunately, a few of the sections of my MPC have been missplaced, which is why I asked. Pretty sure that the UJ is orriginal, at least I didn't change it out. Who knows what was done to it between the PO and the time I got my hans on it. Yes, I always thought that it was a regular Hi-Po part and not a Shelby pecific part. Thanks again.

Road,

Which series U-joint is going to fit a 9" rear behid a 289 Hi-Po? Would that be a 1330 series or something else? I know the basic Ford number is 4635 but are we talking something like a C3AZ or something else?

It is time to replace the rear universal joit on my Hertz car. Does anyone have a part number? A search of the topic on this site did not bring up any information. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Ah, this brings back memories from when I bought my car in 1977. After driving a 1965 Mustang for some years, I found that the GT500's brakes felt like they wanted to put me through the windshield when I touched the brake pedal. The difference between the two cars was truly startling. I soon learned that this was normal for the car and, once I got used to the brakes, they began to feel more normal and I didn't have a problem. So see if using a light touch doesn't fix the problem. If that doesn't do it, then it is time to start looking deeper. Best of luck solving your problem.

+1 on the Alloy Metal Products. Plain and simple, the harness fits and the connectors are correct. You will not be dissapointed.
