And the lined up and upright "inspection" tags on the cowl......At assembly they slapped them on any which way and hoped they made it out to the shipment area.

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: Ford shelby part?
February 02, 2026, 10:47:08 AM
I believe that mark like two boomerangs, is the "Standard Ignition" parts mark.  I could be wrong.  It was the 1970's when I last worked auto parts, but it looks familiar.   Back in those days, those were good quality parts, but not factory.

My 1970 Mach, it screws in to the hole Bob mentioned, it is recessed.  The wire runs down the drivers side inside the trunk like support sheet metal.  Then there is some slack at the trunk opening and it runs to the driver side rear wheel arch.  I can't remember after that.  But it winds up connected under the drivers side sill plate.  It also has a weight in it so it is OFF when the trunk is closed.  It comes on as the weight shifts inside the bulb housing and turns on the lamp.   I think as you slowly move the lamp unit you will feel a slight "thunk".
Experts correct me if I'm wrong (good chance).

The second Bullitt car was also "Scrapped".

I recently ordered from him.  The Auto Order system notified me they had the order within minutes of my completing the computer order.  The next morning I awoke to "We are gathering the stuff" email.  I think they shipped that next day.  They said expect it by a date and it showed up about 3 days prior.

Up For Auction / Re: Richmond Auctions Results - Day 1

BAGS of cash.
The 1970 Mach, 428 car.  I'm guessing there is no heat shield.  The tube connecting the air cleaner snorkel to the heat shield appears to be installed 180 degrees off.  Maybe I'm seeing things.

Very Sorry this happened.
Hope the occupants are OK.  I'd suggest getting an accident attorney and get a complete physical.   All four corners of the car appear to have damage.  Ouch.

Mine didn't cancel.   But the policy didn't have the MCA discount.  And was up, IIRC, about 10 percent.   I called, got a very nice person on the phone and she applied the discount and sent me new emails to link and sign.  I guess I was looking at the prior emails and signed stuff.  A week latter she let me know I'd NOT signed.

Got some 1960's Playboys and there are Shelby Mustang adds in those.

We had lots of those Texaco maps.  Dad was career USAF so we traveled a lot by car.  All were probably tossed over the years when a new one was handed to my parents on the next trip.

That TSB....Ford-Speak.  It states 4 quarts IN THE PAN.  Then it states to up that to 6 and must be meaning in the pan again (not counting the almost a quart in the FL1 filter), but then says 7 if you are changing the oil and filter (Standard oil change maintenance).  Then it states to even add yet another (so 8 ) if you have the SCJ Oil Cooler.    Personally, I don't drive the CJ that hard and use 6 when doing the yearly Oil and Filter change.  Ford seems to be saying we/I should be doing 7 quarts(I don't have the cooler). 
It's been running with 6 quarts at Oil and Filter change time, for about 30 years. I put a scratch mark on the dip stick for the "6 quart Oil & Filter changed" mark.   
Wish they'd done it with a spread sheet with one column for "oil and filter change" and another for "Oil ONLY change".
