God bless you Dave. Thank you for being so helpful when I bought my dream 67 Shelby. Their lives, histories, and stories have been forever preserved because of you.

www.powerbrakebooster.com are great to work with. Had several boosters rebuilt by them and they can repaint as part of the process.

I usually watch eBay over time and eventually find a decent rebuildable core. Look for one not too corroded or pitted.

Just FYI before you spend $1200 on a NOS one: You'll likely want to send it for internal rebuild anyway. If it has the Ford oval on top, it is a service replacement part. You can sand and paint the oval away, but then why pay NOS pricing?

I will just add that other than the one thread pitch being off it is a really nice piece, and I am grateful to whoever it was who worked with the family to keep these available to us after Chris's passing.

Is yours a reproduction? I bought a Chris Brown one and the threads did not work with the AMK 5/16-18 provided. Measured 20tpi to me. Closest fit I could find was 5/16-20. This was after he passed and had the memorial sticker, so might have been on only the later attempt to make more.

Looks doable. How thick should they be?

Carlquist modified the slot in mechanical advance plate. Welds it up and machines to .380. This allows for 18° init and 36-37° total timing.

+1  Set same timing on 67 GT350 with original engine and highly recommend. At 14-16° initial, RPMs would slow with headlights on. With 18° initial, car doesn't seem to notice the additional load and RPMs maintained. Much better for Saturday night cruising

Accomplished 18° initial by swapping in FE distributor cam on 10L slot and thin sleeve on limit post.

I used the 6 pack of tail lights from WCCC in my 67. Worked well with no modifications.

One of the nicest guys you would ever talk to. Put together a beautiful 67 Shelby style gage cluster for me, and so enjoyed speaking with him through the process.

That's a nice offer. $100 part.

Works 1980s+1990s Ford Mustangs, Broncos, vans and pickups.

Was admiring those very wheels this past weekend at SAAC. So happy to see the new owner bring the car out this year, and enjoying it out on the parade laps.

From BAT today:

This listing has been withdrawn by BaT because something during this auction was not fair for the buyer and/or the seller. It might be re-listed in a future BaT Auction if this can be corrected and, if so, we will email all watchers of this listing. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Nice fenders.  For shipping costs vs pickup, where are they located?

You'll bring out a lot more cars if you have the Popular Vote Car Show on Saturday.  There are a lot of nice but not concours cars that would come Saturday if there was a place to put them, other than trying to find a spot in the track car and trailer lot.

Is it worth Bob calling Chris Brown's Browns Auto Body service and ask if they have any more?  I believe they sold 15/16in, but with a more correct 1/4 bleeder. I know they are out of the business since his passing, but maybe some left over?

With Burton apparently no longer making these, what has been the go-to solution?

With Burton, best to call them.  A few years ago I was watching the web site for months hoping an item would come back in stock.  When I finally called they said they had them and were really helpful with options beyond what was listed.  They don't necessarily keep the web site updated.
