That hood has been on the car ever since I first saw it in the mid 1980's here in CO. It is I believe an aftermarket hood from back in the day. There was also another 66 GT350 that was in the CO area that came from CA and it had a similar hood.

The "damper" was machined to clear the three sheave pulley to align with the proper accessories. It would have no bearing on the relationship to the stock K rotating assembly. The factory (Ford)  IMHO would not build a number of K 289 engines to accommodate the limited number of K equipped cars that had the air conditioning option.
It was cheaper to machine a K "damper" than to remove the timing cover and swap the timing components.

Black.

Thanks for this subject thread Vern!
Extremely interesting.

Thank you for fixing this link.

Could the skirts on the 7 existing pistons be machined down to match the current model available?
Just a thought.

Item has been located.

Thank you. I will ask him which one he needs.

I am looking for the stock chrome Ford style shifter for a friend with a 260 equipped Tiger. He does not need the box or associated levers for the transmission.
Please let me know what you have and a price. pics and price can be sent to:
