Hello I have a problem with NHTSA and maybe someone here can help me with this. Does someone here has a good connection to NHTSA in Washington DC or can help me how to handle these people. Thanks...

ok now I need the measurements as I dont have access to the 68 for the next weeks.

hello Don that sounds like an idea. Thanks for all the replies.

Yes correct that are the ones I´m looking for. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry I mean the springs in the Hood Locks which keep them tight when you push them up and down.

I would need a set of springs for the Hood Locks on the 68 Shelby, where can I find them? thanks....

I´m still searching for the PI Block 1967 A Scratch March to May dated 67. I hope someone here can help me. Thank you 1000 times.

After a Guy was holding my money for 5 months and claimed he will deliver me the Block I was looking for he refunded my money out of nothing when I told him I will now come along to pick it up as he was not able to deliver/ ship it in over 8 weeks. A lot of bad people are out there.

Hello I´m still searching for it maybe someone here has it. Thank you.

I had many germany and American cars and Michelin and Conti never were good enough on these. I like the Toyo R888R and I had some Nittos which were impressive. In my opinion they are a better choice.

Original ones are easy to find.

I do have some here in germany. Shipping isn't that bad pretty much the same like when you ship something in the usa.

exactly Shelbydoug thats what I also tried to explain in my school English. Regards to the 95 octane question I mean 95 octane US not EU in EU it would be similar to 98 I think.

I raced a lot of FE´s and also I have driven them on normal roads and in my opinion all FE´s need 95 Octane due to the head design + piston clearance between the heads at top dead center. Thats also the reason why spark plug reading is not really effective as they usually should be grey when the engines ran perfect. I measured a lot of FE´s on the Road and adjusted them and when I even went to safe rich settings the spark plugs were white-grey which has to do with the combustion chamber setup from the factory.

For your problem it would be good to know if the popping comes when you are at normal throttle and then hit the pedal hard to the floor which would tell me your second carb is reacting to fast. Maybe it's also just fuel as I said I never would go under 95 with these engines. Also please take a close look to your ignition is there enough voltage at the Coil+Distributor and at the end check your spark plug wires and more important the spark plugs and gaps. Sometimes just spark plugs can cause this problem. I only use NGK since 25 years.

Thank you Rick. I wish you a very good time and a relaxed retirement. Spend your time now with some other things that maybe came to short in the last 50 Years. Have a wonderful time.

That's good news, we have the same laws in Europe. One more step to freedom for people like us. Jay Leno for President.
