date codes for 3259 carb and distributor.

[65cobra]

I am working on a 3-9-67 build gt350, inboards, flat tail panel, functional brake vents. K code engine is not numbers matching but if I can find some correct coded parts why not?  but what date codes ranges would be correct for distributor and Carb?  I could also use a OG side scoop one is missing, and a ps cooler.  Lots is missing but thats my main shelby specific stuff.

We can provide an educated guess but we could likely have a better one if you provided the engine assembly date from the drivers side front surface of the engine block. There is a small section of the block that sticks out forward from where the drivers side head mates to the block on that side.

I have a correct 715 Holley date code 712 available.

The surface with the engine assembly date Jeff is referring to is in the attached image.  This will maybe "blank" if the block has been machined.

However if the car isn't numbers matching, as the owner as stated, it's a bit of a guess.  What is the casting date on the engine? Is it within the typical date range for the San Jose  build date of 3/9/67 ?

Dang a month after I start looking they are growing on trees lol   Martyjac on the forum did hook me up with one its at the restorers right now.  its a 4th week nov 66 date code should be pretty close.  I better call the carb restorer and be a squeaky wheel...

Unfortunately my engine is not matching so I can't go off that it is a 65 k code motor though.

I am still looking for functional lower side scoops if any of you have those, I don't want NOS, they are not the same. 

I bought it from a well known broker and had it shipped straight to the shop as its a bigger project than I can do right now.  I can do everything including metal work and don't mind a reasonable project but this would take me years and then ADD would set in.

video just posted live on youtube of me seeing what I am getting myself into...

The good news is that the restorer probably learned a lot from mistakes he made on Jerry's car. The bad news is I lost count of all of the fubar misinformation that he preached during the video. Of course you can count on the forum to fill in the blanks if need be.
