Hi Bob, I think you're right. I would not have known unless I had asked. I will check it out.
Thanks
Cory

Found a part number.  Looks like C8SE-A.  I'm finding others are saying it was made by Schwitzer.  The SC must be for them.  See attached image.
Thanks
Cory

Hi Bob, that is good to know. Thank you.

So in general, do you know why there are variations like this? I've seen the same clutch on the C6OE-G fan. I'm assuming they're functionally the same. And possibly just a different supplier to keep up with the demand?  Is one better than the other?

Thanks

Cory

Hi all,

On the C6OE-G fan blade for 68 GT350 J-code, I'm finding two variations of the clutch.  Does anyone one know why the two variations?  The version with coiled spring seems to be the most common.
Thanks

Hi all, I picked up this valley Ford Parts catalog and cannot find any copyright or year in it. Does anybody have an idea of the year of this catalog?  The Valley Ford Parts story talks about Bill Norton as if he no longer was the owner of the company as a hint.
Thanks

Hi all,

The car has been found from a Face Book group "Lost Muscle car".  The owner lives in Florida and will be back in the state in a few weeks.  Mike will talk to the owner then and see where the car is and if he is interested in any of the original parts.  Yahoo.

I will try to get some pictures of the car to share later.

Hi All,  Thanks for you input.  Does anyone have a few photo's of the early hub?  Not on a car, but lose?

Thanks

Cory

Hi Rhjanes,

No problem.

Cory

For the long term record when the FB site expires.

If someone can post the Ford VIN, that could also be helpful down the road.  I can't find in the FB ad.

Thanks

Hi Joe,

Glad to help. I added one dimension to the end of the curved spanner bar 3/32 radius on the end. I measured the thickness at .094 inches. This is a little under 12 gauge steel. Best of luck.
Cory

Hi Joe, you can also try this dimensioned drawing.

Hi Joe,

I've attached an image of the spreader bars with two axes with yardsticks. Copy the image into a word file and scale the print until you get a match on the yardsticks. Then you'll have a pattern to start with. That'll get you really close. Hope that helps.
Best of luck
Cory.

Hi all

I got a buddy that is trying to remarry original parts to a 1969 GT 350 to the original body. Within the last month he came across a marketplace ad for a complete set of parts for a 69 GT350, minus shell. The owner had kept the parts all this time since he disassembled the car in the early 2000s.  My buddy acquired all these parts this last month .  It  Turns out the shell was in storage back circa 2005 and for whatever reason the rent wasn't paid and the shell was sold for a $1 by the storage company.  It then  went onto eBay and sold, again circa 2005.  It is believed the shell went  to Texas. It may have been resold again. My buddy has the complete matching drive train, door tag, interior, everything to put this car back together. He was going to use some of the parts to replace parts on his 69 GT 350 but is feeling guilty.  He would like to see the parts, at least the drive train, go back to the original car. Does  anybody out there know where it is? Did anybody see this thing sell on eBay in 2005?  Any leads  would be appreciated.  Please send me a PM and I'll put you in contact with my buddy Mike.
Thank you
Cory

This was also Christy Edelbrock's ride while her father Vic was still alive.  She and her sister Camee would always come to the Pacific Northwest Historic Races with both their 1966 GT350's. Tom Armstrong's son Brad (RIP) also used to race the car before it was sold to the Edelbrocks.  Attached are a few other showings of the car on the event posters.

I'm confused.  The auction says it ends February 24.  Shouldn't the auction be over?  Last I checked, it's now March.
