well, you know.  There is a "Wanted to buy" area where the moderator will move this to.

  Hard to tell without a few more photos but looks restorable if the owners wants to do it.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: GT500 Brake issues

And: has the proportioning valve been rebuilt?  The spring inside actually rusts apart causing issues.
  One final comment: On my tribute car which sat for 30 years, there was a ridge inside the prop valve bore that was impossible to see.  That too caused problems for a while.

  Slow down, we're all busy.
   There is an illustration in the "Branda" 67 Shelby assembly manual as to what wire goes where.
 Now you'll need to decide what Amp gauge covering to use (depending on what production era you built) and what junction block to use.
  And don't forget to use an insulating grommet at the firewall of risk burning your car down.

  Unless the crank is out, it's really difficult to deal with the locating pin.  I know somebody is going to answer that they did it.
  My 67 had the plastic-coated cam gear.  I was glad to be rid of it.

We can help but I'd like to know what year you have to make sure you get it correct.

Just to make sure:  The painting occurred after the box was installed on the assembly line?

  And if that is a "yes" to the years, exactly what years.

Well, I spliced in a new wire before the pink wire under the dash.  And ran that out to the coil.  And, I bought the Petronic's coil that they advise.
  But, I will check the voltage out at the coil wire but it ought to read 12 volts.

  The history: was sent out to redo the face of my 6000rpm factory tach (on my S code tribute car) to an 8000rpm look-alike.  I put in a Petronics II module in the distributor.  Seems to only read a constant 500rpm.  Kind of at a loss as to what the check.
  Plus, can't send it to the best tach man we used to have any more if I need too.

  "If" the radiator looks rusty inside, you can bet so are the water jackets.  Rust is an insulator.
     Look up cooling system cleaning on the internet.

Well all the fiberglass stuff seems to be fitted.
