sorry, missed a photo:

Kent, I have couple of take offs if you need them.

Don

Kent:
Base diameter = 1";
Top diameter = 5/8";
Height = 1/2"

Is there a specification for the length, or trial and error?

The Shelby C6 was sourced from the Mercury side; specifically the 427 Cougar.  NOT Galaxy Police pkg.

Another option if you want to use BF32's is the Autolite #34 plug. After Ford and Autolite separated in 1972, all Autolite plugs got the Motorcraft name, Autolite continued making plugs with a new numbering system. The BF32 was now Motorcraft while the Autolite version was #34, same exact plug. You can find Autolite 34's cheaper than BF32's, here's a set on ebay now:

Does the same hold true for the BF42 plugs??  Did they become 44??

The person authenticating Fords for BJ, now, was not doing so back in 2016.  Then, it was done by someone else.

Over the years, David and I would visit at events, particularly during MidAmerica at Tulsa.  It was clear he had a passion for these cars and his work.  Sad news for sure!  My condolences to his family and friends.

Appears to have had a/c installed in its past.
Missing shock tower caps.

And just to be clear pete has refused to share any info on those items

I have shared more information than anyone.

Yes, I have elected not to sell parts for the last 12 years. The single exception being the Green Hornet.

It's not in my best interest to sell parts to people, so they can build Conelec systems and cars, when I am actively trying to buy an original car.

A car with an intact system is worth a lot more than one without it. That's just my opinion.

I have turned down multiple offers to sell systems. Believe me when I tell you if I had accepted those offers, I could have purchased any 68 or 69 Shelby I wanted. I even had an offer to sell everything, which is mostly paperwork, for a very significant amount.

It's nothing directed at anyone in particular.
Hopefully, that clarifies the situation

Continue your search, Pete.  You are doing what anyone else of us would do, in your shoes.

Tom, it is proper and helpful to list the source of this article, if you know it. 
It sure reminds me of one that Tom Corcoran authored, or co-authored, many years ago.

So nobody going to saac -51 ?

I'm registered, but no concours this time.

Factory clips pictured, with S8MS #s. 18 short ones, plus 8 longer ones.
Factory didn't use the donut cushions, (previously mentioned) which are visible if you do use them.

I have seen original cars without using barrel nuts; studs were pressed directly into fiberglass holes.

The original grill surround trim was attached using two different length trim clip studs--meaning two different part numbers.  Branda has sold the shorter version, in the past, but I haven't seen the longer version reproduced.
These clips are not shown in the image that Chris provided.

I will try to post a photo later today of original clips, with part numbers.  The longer ones are supposed to be installed in the headlight buckets where it is harder to reach them to push them bac out, if needed.

You are correct; my apologies for shuffling magazines and not paying attention.
Yes, I am vintage sensitive.
