Correct FORD Part #'s

[sbowers]

I have 67 Gt 500 is there a book that i can purchase that will help me identify correct parts that I need to purchase. Sellers on ebay and other sellers advertise and just want to know what I am buying. Thanks for your help! Scott

No. The problem is that you have the Ford parts and the Shelby part so two different sources for the part numbers and the like. Add to this the hundreds of running changes that took place during 67 Mustang production at San Jose and all the ones at Shelby that year. Most consider 67 as the year with the most changes and one if not the more difficult because of all the changes.  You can have one car made up originally with one group of parts and then have another built a couple of weeks or month later with a half dozen of different parts installed at San Jose them a car two weeks later that has six parts different from Shelby than car #2 in the example. And in turn a dozen different part from car #1. There are many threads discussion and showing individual changes have been posted here, on other forums (at CMF we have a running change thread for just a small part of the San Jose running changes) and as articles in the SAAC Quarterly publication that guys like JD have authored many times.

Could be done but a lot of work in my experience. To be assembled easy to use would likely make a time line for each change a required part of the book. Same request for books have been asked since the 80's and all attempts I've seen copies of didn't get far other than a few with limited scopes like the Cobra Jet book printed decades ago and the  Mustang & Ford Small Block V book for example.

All of the following can be of little or great amount of help depending. But you will have to mine the data and assemble you own list and then not everyone selling parts will use part numbers to identify their parts.
 
- Master Parts Catalogs (closer to the year the car was produced the more helpful they are)
- Ford Assemble Manuals
- 67 Shelby Assemble Manual Book that was printed

As far as I's aware no Easy button today.

Thank you Sir!

  Jeff mentioned the "Shelby Assembly Manual", this was printed by Tony D Branda Shelby parts.
It's pretty good, BUT, seems to feature later built cars.  Still good and useable, just pencil it the accurate numbers you find for your car.

While the part numbers are helpful, knowing the parts is key. Make sure you learn what you need before you go shopping and take someones word

+1 Not all NOS or service parts are created equal

Thanks gentlemen!

I have an set of blueprint drawings that Branda used to make the book for 67 Shelby's 
I'd have to look at them to see if anything is different in my drawings vs the Branda book

Also, what about the delete sheets for part number reference?

[JD]

that would help BUT be sure you are looking at the DSO sheets for your car!
