Several years ago I was able to acquire an original '67 HiPo Autolite 4100 carb.  Tag number is C7ZF-B which according to Bob Mannel's great book decodes as being for a California '67 K-code Mustang with Thermactor exhaust emission system and 4-spd.  Per his book there are differences between this '67 carb and the correct C6ZF-F carb for the '66 Hertz with automatic trans.  My question is would I be able to use this carb, without jet/booster changes, on my Hertz?  There is a Holley on there now from a 390 GT Comet!  The '67 carb was completely rebuilt about 10 years ago by Kurt at KP Carbs.  This is a rare carb when compared to K-code Mustang production numbers for '67.  Ideally it would be nice to swap this carb for one that's correct for for my Hertz.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for a tire size recommendation for my '66 Hertz.  I'll be utilizing the correct 14" magnum wheels (3.375" backspacing) and the A-arms have been lowered 2".  What's currently on there now are factory Ford chrome magnums with P195/70R14 tires.  The overall width of the rims is 8" so I'm thinking these are probably 6" rims.  The backspacing is 4-1/4".  How much tire can I comfortably use without issue considering the wheel will be outwards almost an inch.  Thanks very much!

I'm looking for a hood mounted windshield washer nozzle for the driver's side on my '06 GT-H.  Tried to find one of these years ago but no luck.  Thought I'd try again.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've attached a photo of the one on the passenger side.

I finally got around to working on the rear brakes on my '66 Hertz.  Left rear was smoking on the way home one day so I knew I had to investigate.  Too many other things going on around the house with higher priority kept me from getting to it sooner.  I'm now working on the driver's side rear.  The cable going to the adjuster bracket had broken.  Brake shoes had been installed backwards who knows when.  Shoe material is cracked with a strange wear pattern and there is also some shoe material missing on one of the upper/lower edges.  They're a mess!  I have the new parts installed.  Problem is the drum will not go on without some persuasion.  I had to remove it by gently using a hammer.  The self adjuster is at its shortest length and the top portion of the shoes is at the pivot pin.  I've attached some pics.  I also loosened the bleeder screw on the brake cylinder.  I'm thinking that something might be tweaked, possibly the drum?  Any other ideas?

I'm finally getting around to doing the rear brakes on my '66 and have a question regarding the rear self adjusters.  The hardware kits come with a washer which I know they should.  The kit I have for the left driver side has a curved spring loaded washer while the kit I have for the right side contains a flat washer.  Is it correct to have 2 different types?  The old adjuster from the left, which is the side I'm working on, has no washer at all!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I used this gentleman's services to have my white, personalized Calif. license plates switched over to the black/yellow style plates from the 60's.  This color style plate was not available from the DMV when I originally ordered my plates. It is now available and is known as a Legacy plate.  They are nice plates but the font for CALIFORNIA is not quite the same as the originals.  I decided to have mine redone using this service and am very, very pleased with the results.  The font is correct and they look just as if they've been repainted.  Coloring is spot on.  The work is outstanding!  Fortunately my plates were in excellent condition to begin with which makes the process easier.  He is unable to do any out-of-state plates due to lack of appropriate software.  Just thought I would pass this on in case anyone with Calif. plates is interested.  One can contact him for info regarding his services.

Much work ahead on this one.

Here's my latest flea market find.  Poster measures 37" x 22-1/2" and is in good condition with just some edge wear (which I can hide when framing).  I really like the various portraits.

Our daughter and family will be relocating from Brooklyn, NY back to the SF bay area (Petaluma, CA) within about a month.  I'm looking for a recommendation for a reputable (and reasonable} car transport company to help get their SUV back to the bay area.  An open carrier is preferred to keep the costs down.  Any leads would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks much!

Here's a 1968 Shelby ad that I came across from Nagle Ford in Rochester, NY.  It appears to be on a page from a Spencer Speedway (Williamson, NY) program from 1967.

I saw this on eBay and placed a late bid in hopes of adding it to my garage wall.  I won the auction right before leaving on a 9 day vacation to visit our grandkids.  This was waiting for me upon our arrival back home.  It's from 1958 and is complete with the outer glass cover.  There is a partial crack on the inner glass HERTZ plate which is only noticeable at certain angles.  It utilizes a Pam clock that keeps perfect time!  All I did was remove the outer stainless ring to clean and polish.  I bought a couple of socket adapters to enable use of the smaller night lite style bulbs.  I wound up using 2 x 10watt LED bulbs which run super cool and provide plenty of light.  I was very happy to find one of these clocks.
