Appreciate you, Brian!

I just looked to see what the dates for French Lick are and didn't notice a posting.
Do we know, yet?
Thanks

Plenty of answers to this topic in the past.  Try searching.

While there are a few adjustments (shop manual and other resources), it is likely that it has been installed too tight--which is an all too common fault with top people.  If you force it, you just may end up pulling the handle pivot bolts out of the header frame.  Then you have a real problem.

Top people tend to think only about wrinkles, not the rest of the assembly.

sorry, missed a photo:

Kent, I have couple of take offs if you need them.

Kent:
Base diameter = 1";
Top diameter = 5/8";
Height = 1/2"

Is there a specification for the length, or trial and error?

The Shelby C6 was sourced from the Mercury side; specifically the 427 Cougar.  NOT Galaxy Police pkg.

Another option if you want to use BF32's is the Autolite #34 plug. After Ford and Autolite separated in 1972, all Autolite plugs got the Motorcraft name, Autolite continued making plugs with a new numbering system. The BF32 was now Motorcraft while the Autolite version was #34, same exact plug. You can find Autolite 34's cheaper than BF32's, here's a set on ebay now:

Does the same hold true for the BF42 plugs??  Did they become 44??

The person authenticating Fords for BJ, now, was not doing so back in 2016.  Then, it was done by someone else.

Over the years, David and I would visit at events, particularly during MidAmerica at Tulsa.  It was clear he had a passion for these cars and his work.  Sad news for sure!  My condolences to his family and friends.

Appears to have had a/c installed in its past.
Missing shock tower caps.

And just to be clear pete has refused to share any info on those items

I have shared more information than anyone.

Yes, I have elected not to sell parts for the last 12 years. The single exception being the Green Hornet.

It's not in my best interest to sell parts to people, so they can build Conelec systems and cars, when I am actively trying to buy an original car.

A car with an intact system is worth a lot more than one without it. That's just my opinion.

I have turned down multiple offers to sell systems. Believe me when I tell you if I had accepted those offers, I could have purchased any 68 or 69 Shelby I wanted. I even had an offer to sell everything, which is mostly paperwork, for a very significant amount.

It's nothing directed at anyone in particular.
Hopefully, that clarifies the situation

Continue your search, Pete.  You are doing what anyone else of us would do, in your shoes.

Tom, it is proper and helpful to list the source of this article, if you know it. 
It sure reminds me of one that Tom Corcoran authored, or co-authored, many years ago.
