Spent time with Chuck at Laguna (when Shelby was features) years ago, super guy.

Agree 1,000%  One of the best.

The edition with the red car on the cover is the publishers edition. It's numbered and signed and limited to 150 copies according to the website. The edition with the yellow car on the cover is the standard edition. The publishers edition is $175 while the standard edition is $100. Again this is according to the website.

Just a heads up the publishers edition is limited to 150 copies. The publishers edition is signed by the two authors plus other members of the Shelby team. The Shelby GT 350 book that Chuck Cantwell released several years ago is very very difficult to obtain now. If this book is of interest, I would suggest ordering it sooner rather than later.

Yes, thank you for bringing the convention to those of us that didn't make it this year. It looks like there are some super nice cars in attendance. If you pass by the swap area, would you post some of the items for sale? Always fun to see what people are offering for sale.

Lower price based on TLea's information from $900 to $500.

Search Craigslist Seattle and enter 3939S in your search. The ad is for a HiPo Button Top fuel pump stamped 3939S with a late '66 date. The seller notes it has been restored by fuel pump guru Fred Ballard. Asking price is $1,850.
     I do not know the seller and have no affiliation.

R.R. and Bob, Thanks for the recommendation but he does not have OEM factory connectors. Or maybe does not want to sell what he has. I can't blame him, seems the plugs are tough to find in decent shape anymore. I'm sure many have cracked or broken over the years like mine have. Thanks again.

I was hoping I could slip the wires out of the broken connector and insert in the aftermarket piece, but the connectors are a different shape - round vs. rectangle.
     Bob's suggestion would be the way to go if I can find a donor harness. Or I guess go with a new one.

The connector that attaches the wiring to the headlight bulb on our 1966 carryover is broken as you can see in the attached picture. One option that I'm finding through an online search is to buy an aftermarket pigtail and cut-and-splice that into the wire loom. It appears that CJ pony parts has a good quality aftermarket connector. However, I would rather not cut and splice wires.
     Is there a source anyone knows of that offers an exact OEM connector that I could plug the old wires into? If not, are my only options to either buy an entire new wire loom for the headlights or splice in the aftermarket pigtail?

Be patient! Get the exact car your heart desires. It will give you joy every time you look at it. Plus, the hunt is very fun and exciting.

I have had this Holley carb for many, many years. The parts all move freely and appears to be in pretty good condition. Here are the numbers that I can see:

S8MS-9510-C    (should be for a 4 speed GT350)
List 4231
823            (8=1968, 2=February or 2nd month, 3=3rd week of February)

Metering Blocks:
6478
4778

6739
6210

Please post any comments that would be helpful to a prospective buyer so I can sell this accurately. I am asking $500 to put a price out there but open to offers. I would rather see this on someone's GT350 than in my storage.
Please call or text me for more pictures or questions. (720) 260-0258 
Thanks for your interest. Jeff

Hi Jeff,
    Yes, I have a Carryover. #074.

Kram350, yes. I have discovered this car has the '67 caps with the coarse threads.

I am adding to this post as I try and get the shock tower braces/caps/bee hives correct on our Carryover. When it comes to the washers that were welded onto the caps, I have seen pictures where part of the washer has been cut off making it "D" shaped. While Virginia Mustang has an excellent picture on their blog of an original cap from a '65 GT350 and the washer is a full circle. Did the factory install both ways? Does this depend on the year? One guess I can make is because the '65s and Carryovers came with Konis, they received the full washer and when Ford moved away from Konis, they went to the "D" shaped washer? Again, just me guessing.
       By the way, if anyone has a nice set of caps for the '65-'66 with clean threads and no pitting they would part with, please PM me.
Thanks
Jeff
