SOLD Good used pair of 289 hipo exhaust manifolds. Driver side is marked   C3OE-9431-B and assume it is original Ford given the Ford trademark in the oval and the 6H30 date code present. It does have a small chip at the stud flange which will not cause a sealing problem and plenty of thread depth for the stud. The passenger side is a repro that appears to be perfect brand new condition and never run given the pristine condition of the exhaust ports mating surface. 250.00 plus shipping. Sorry I will not spend time getting a shipping quote for all that ask . The box is 19 x 15 x 11 and weighs 29 lbs . The origination City is 64127 (Kansas City) you will have to get your own UPS quote for shipping and once you are serious I will confirm the quote and proceed. PayPal Friends and family. PM with any questions. Thank you for looking.

I like the one piece rear main seal. I wonder if that is usable in a 289 hipo block?

Hopefully cooling stations or other precautions will be address just in case. Sure the board will look into it

MCA typically has a number of golf carts that constantly distribute pallet Fuls of water at all the nationals . I am sure there will no exception here.

Was this car an over ride or under ride car?

Given the Shelby VIN it is most likely a underide car.

My 68 GT 500, passenger side door courtesy light has never worked. Looking under dash the bullet connector and pigtail not hooked up to the dash harness. The door wiring appears to be too short.  I pulled off door panel and fished out harness, yea was wrong harness. I think restoration guy put in a Scott Drake, speaker one in door.  Car does not have stereo speakers in door.  He had just plugged in dash courtesy light into bullet directly in dash harness.  So that mystery solved. I did get a new harness from Scott Drake... without speaker... but still too short to reach.  I could make my own pigtail extender BUT... I cannot find the correct Ford bullets. I even have some old harnesses.  Nothing fits. I ordered a used OEM used door harness on eBay and see if the bullet connector black\blue wires are longer. Has anyone run into this?

Yes. Typically it isn't worth the effort for me to get another harness and more simple to splice in some wire farther back inside the harness to allow more length where needed yet not be seen. Not everyone is comfortable with this kind of fix but for me it is less stressful.

In this context J4 probably means sept of 1974. A aftermarket part put into a genuine old box IMO. It wouldn't be the first time.  

The marking indicates that it is a aftermarket part. The factory 66 part would ether be marked with a KS or FOMOCO in the oval in cursive. Later versions trademark evolved to the FOMOCO in block letters inside a rectangle. The base on a 66 version was square shaped . The shape changed to hex shape base 67 forward.

This is what I am up against. When I purchased this in 91 you can see PO painted car red. When I had it repainted the inside of the decklid texture was sanded smooth and so were the inner side of the end caps. Anyone ever find a way to recreate the texture for
1) inner flat surface of the decklid
2) texture/grain on the end caps

At least for the end caps grain texture I have seen others replicate the grain by using a piece of grained vinyl material and use it press into a skim coal of bondo. Sounds easier then it is however I saw it done. I understand that it takes practice to get it right given the time sensitive nature of activated bondo. 

SOLD   Nice used W MO 5 67 dated radiator for auto. It did not leak when taken out of surface a few years ago. If using it as a basis for a concours recore and restoration of course the bottom tank can be changed for manual if need be. 350.00 plus shipping and insurance . PayPal Friends and Family. PM me for any questions. Thank you for looking. 

+1 . It is not typical that a engine builder would use a used oil pump.

C4ZF-9275-B fuel Sender . "SOLD " Extremely rare and what was assemblyline in the 65 GT350 and 66 carryover cars.  Just got this back from being refurbished , recalibrated and tested. A5 date . It comes with new brass float and new filter sock. 600.00 US shipping to US address. PayPal friends and family . PM me for and questions. Thank you for looking.

How is the quality of the filter, I am finding that even the rotorcraft one is not impressive, especially when you see made in china on it....

I can't comment about quality or flow rate of a given filter but doubt you find anything much better then what  Motor craft offers. The thread was about is what is assemblyline correct.  The old filters are slightly different in appearance then the modern replacements. The large brass adapter was correct from Shelby. Yes, if you don't care about the look of what is assemblyline correct the later fine thread filter will thread on without the adapter.  You have the info now so you can decide what is best for your given situation. Best of luck whatever you decide.

These are so sorely needed. I have only seen a couple of the earlier style NOS panels in close to 45 years of parts scrounging. I was surprised to see the pattern to indicate that they were used for a little less then half of production. I had always thought much less. Thanks to Vern for spearheading getting these done and helping with the effort to get these to the cars that need them.   

Was the texture from the taillight panel replicated on the end caps as well or were the just painted semi gloss black to match? June 69 build

Fastback had the grained texture and convertible was smooth. Both were the semigloss black. Of course the early production cars had a spray on texture instead of the made into the panel grain effect for the rear panel and endcap.
