When the front end is properly aligned, the steering box shaft index mark should point to the 12 o'clock position.  This centers the worm gear/sector shaft the same turns lock to lock.  There is a mark on the steering wheel where the marks should line up.  I'd put the steering wheel on the proper alignment to the shaft and take it back to whoever did the alignment and have them re-do it.

Looks like the regular 289 alternator belt.  Hipo ones are different.

Aftermarket torque converter?  Might need a higher idle setting.

Talking about the pull knob bracket?  If so, it gets mounted using the same hardware as the parking brake assembly.

SFM number unknown of this one, likely a '65.  Hard to say if oil pan drain is painted or just dark natural/phosphate.

I have an '02 car insured on my collector car policy, it's an agreed value.

Those tires look a bit old, I'd be hesitant to wind the car up in the driving video also.

Was a great tour, even if there were only a couple Fords in the entire building!   

Could very well be a weak area, but under normal driving conditions, shouldn't be a problem.  I've never noticed the area bent or cracked on original cars and ones I've disassembled.  If I remember right, 67-68 do have a reinforcement area there, spot welded in.

Holman-Moody makes hipo camshafts and matched solid lifters.

Looking for a nice original gauge pod for a 5S4xx car.  Just the pod, have tach/oil gauge.  Some minor repair/restoration needed is ok.

Thanks

Original or reproduction?

Charles are you listed as a dealer in NC? Is that how you got a title on a bill of sale car?

I'm not a dealer.  Went through normal private owner process.  Called NC DMV before buying the car to make sure I understood the process.  Other than the bill of sale, they wanted a copy of the Alabama registration, which the seller didn't have, but he got done before I picked it up.

Looks like a nice car, but I have never tried to title and register a car that only comes with a registration, is that common?

I bought a '66 out of Alabama last year on a bill of sale, they don't have titles for old cars either.  Had to go through extra levels of review here in NC, but got a title for it, no problems other than they entered a '0' as a 'O' at NC DMV, so caused a mis-match on inspector report matching up to the title application.

The KR emblems did not have pins.

Thanks, good to know.  I'm working on a KR now that needs one of these.
