I have recently acquired a large collection of Ford parts, mostly '60's NOS. Among the inventory are various NOS sheet metal pieces and some used Shelby fiberglass and miscellaneous items. I am not fond of shipping sheet metal or bulky parts, as they are difficult to package and prone to damage enroute.

I have created several lists which are attached here. I am attending SAAC 51 but I am NOT setting up to vend in the parts area. I will bring only individual items by request. If you are interested in something, contact me and I will bring it and arrange to meet you.

If you want me to bring an item, I can be reached by PM, email or text. I must hear from you by the end of day on Tuesday, August 25th as I will be leaving for Georgia the following day.

I am arriving at the Candlewood Suites in Oakwood on Thursday afternoon and will be at the track each day Friday through Sunday. I will be available there only by text or call at 717-648-6600.

If you are not attending SAAC 51, I can also deliver to Fall Carlisle Sept 30 - Oct 4.

Bob,
I have one that may be acceptable. I sent you a text with pics.

Ford produced C8AE H pump for an FE (390-428) with 8C26 date (March 26, 1968).

A very clean casting with well defined ID and date code. Professionally rebuilt.

Appropriate for a concours car. $350 + shipping

This is the panel that supports the fiberglass lower front valence and provides stable mounting for the fog lights.

It is unusual, being for an air conditioned car. Brackets are welded onto the underside to mount the oil cooler that was installed on cars with A/C. To my knowledge, this version has never been reproduced.

An original in undamaged condition. $750. + shipping.

No difference except for 3/8" or 5/8" nose cone offset to the flywheel between automatic and manual transmissions.

Most automatics and cars use the shallower 3/8" offset to the starter ring on the flywheel. Most trucks use the 5/8" offset, specifically with manual transmissions.

Best practice is to observe the engineering number cast into the existing nose cone; the starter must be removed to see it. If the number on the replacement is different, the cone from the original starter can be transferred, as they are interchangable. Check this before turning in your existing starter as a core!

[genuine Ford/Motorcraft]

Ford typically identified its starters with a paint stamped engineering number rather than a stamping. This number is often now illegible or has been removed in the course of a previous rebuild by a remanufacturer.

If your starter is the original, you may want to consider repairing it. What is the symptom? If it clicks and makes a whirring noise but does not engage, the problem is likely the drive.

This component is inexpensive and easily replaced. Use only a genuine Ford/Motorcraft unit! The correct one for a 1967 289 is Ford p/n C6VY11350A or Motorcraft sales number SD175. There is one available here:

If this is not the problem, I would next try to find a specialty automotive electrical repair shop and have it fixed.

Try to avoid buying a replacement - this path is fraught with potential problems. Most starters now being offered, even by national auto parts chains, are generic applications with offshore build quality. Plus, their application listings often do not consider the difference in nose cone depth between a manual or automatic transmission. I have been told of buyers returning units two or three times as "the computer says it is the correct one" but it does not fit. 

I sent you a PM

Stanley Springs is located here in Harrisburg,PA. They are a full service spring and repair facility in business since 1922.

I have been doing business with them since the late 1960's, most recently to dearch the rear springs in '66 GT350 that I had acquired as an uncompleted restoration. As always, I was very pleased with the results.

I could not find a direct web site but here is a link you may find useful:

Being as Harrisburg is midway between the major car shows in Carlisle and Hershey, you may know someone from your area attending those events who could hand carry them to Stanley.

Yes, and some of it really "Grabs" you. 

Remainder of Muscle Cars magazine article with KR #3588

The lead photo and content originally appeared in Muscle Car magazine in 1986, so the article you are referring to would have appeared after that. See attachments.

The car is '68 KR #3588. More about it here:

It has recently been refreshed with various exterior details returned to as original and remains available for sale.

I suggest you contact Bill Heeley in Maryland, who has been rebuilding and restoring Ford shifters for decades. I highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and a known resource who has the technical expertise to correctly supply what you need for your application.  His card is attached.

Tom,
These may be helpful - from the factory assembly diagrams.
