I would like to know what octane fuel you are currently using besides the compression ratio previously asked for.

Bob Wilson RJ Restorations/Twin City Muscle Metal (651) 485-9832 does them also. https://twincitymusclemetal.com/about-us/

Thanks, my friend!  I gave them the option with respect to gaskets.  They let me provide the parts so I included a cork and a rubber gasket.  They're repairing my stripped oil pan drain plug hole, replacing rear main seal if necessary, and swapping out the incorrect A-servo trans for a correct C-servo trans that I actually procured about 15 years ago.  It actually came out of another Hertz Shelby which was a pleasant surprise.  When I bought it the trans and torque converter had been completely rebuilt.  I also provided the shop with the factory shop manual just in case.

Craig, given your effort towards historic details on the things you mentioned the oil pan gasket used was cork but the top and bottom back in the day had a black sealer just like the valve cover gaskets. You can improvise by painting the top and bottom surface of the cork gasket for a similar look. It is most evident on the overhanging corners in the front sticking out from under the timing cover. Just some details expected on the concours prepared cars in case that matters to you. If not, never mind.

Hey Bob,  Its for Randy Pickerings fastback

I thought so but wasn't for sure.

It was also stated on this forum a while back that when hertz cars were sent back to be cleaned, the seat belts were removed,and there were a pile of seat belts to pick from that had already been cleaned and ready to be installed.

I am not sure that statement is accurate. It is at least not accurate for all 66 Hertz GT350's being readied for resale.

Assembly-line calipers on late '66 into '67 GT350/GT500 typically had Kelsey-Hayes casting numbers like C7ZX-2B120-A or similar. Look for the reinforcing bar on later units (post-Jan '67), plus 7/16 hose fitting vs early 3/8. Your dates suggest you'll find mostly the later ones.

Some also had a small "KH" oval cast in. Originals differ slightly from service parts, so double-check those fine details. 😊

Do you have a picture of a caliper with a C7ZX-2b120-A casting number?

Please let me know if you one.

Rusty, fastback or convertible?

Rick you have been a positive inspiration to all. Thank you sir for all that you have done. 

No holes for ones used in 67 Shelby.

Hi,

I just got this 3259-1 service replacement for $300.  Don't know if that's a good deal or not, but seems about right.  I never see anything with the LeMans bowls outside of this forum or eBay.  No S2MS number. 

I was wondering what the forum thought of the price, and if anyone could tell me which run or reissue this was.  I know it is not an original as it has the squirter boss and 4 digit date, but still I like it.   

It may end up on a hipo 289 I am thinking about putting in my Fairlane.

Here are some pictures for future reference as well.

   List 3259-1, LeMans center pivot bowls
   Date  2539 - 253rd day of 69, 79, etc.
   Metering blocks
      Front: Left L3259 above 4756, Right - 4754 above a 4
      Rear: Left L3259 above 4560

 
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Great price. The reissue 3259's are 1750.00 now. http://www.carlsfordparts.com/main.html

Hello Bob, i have responded to your personal message, thanks.

I have sent a couple of PM's to you with no response.

OMG. It makes you wonder why people do some things.

Bob, can you make a list of things that are incorrect and that need to be addressed?  I know the hood hinges are incorrect and that the interior 1/4 panels are the wrong shade of black. 

i'll get right on that 

Although 67-69 are identical in shape to the 1970 version the 70 was zinc silver and the 67-69 were bare steel. The zinc is maintenance friendly. Of course you can strip the zinc off easily if need be.

There is bar running the interior roof line connecting the interior qtr window trim on a 66 Shelby does anyone no where one would be available? Thanks so much

I am not sure which part you are looking for? Is it the trim piece in the center that joins the two halves together? If so NPD sells it.
