Hello Everyone
While i have my gaue cluster out on my 67 gt500 i figured i would replace my emergency and turn signal flasher units as they are now easy to access with the gauges currently out.
My question is with the added rear tail lights on the 67 shelby did they use the same flasher units for the turn signals/emergency signals on the shelby as was fitted to the mustangs or was there a different unit used a more heavy duty unit because of the more lights added?
I know there was problems with the factory headlight switch and some dealers i believe fitted mercury cougar headlight switches to take the load of the 4 headlight system and wasnt sure if something similar may have happened here with the flasher units.
If so can anybody recommend a brand or heavy duty type flasher unit they have found that is good/reliable and has a good shelf life.
Many thanks
Stay safe
Dave

     I replaced my headlight switch with a 67 Cougar headlight switch after driving back from
the SAAC convention in Pocono 1989 when my headlights kept flashing off and on on the BQE
in the middle of the night!!

Hi,
    I think I asked this question on the lost forum but don't remember if I received an
answer. Are the bulbs in the oil/amp gauge cluster clear or green? Mine are clear.

The engineering number and date code would mean it's a '68 model year. They are physically the same.

If not I don't know what the difference is. Generally a change in engineering number for what seemingly is the same part indicates a change in design of some sort.

Hi,
    The seller claims that the C7 has a slightly different angle for the H-pipe for the Mustangs. I've never heard
that before? I thought the C6 and C7 would be physically the same as you say.

     I need a drivers side exhaust manifold for my 67 GT500 (12/21/66 San Jose-1/6/67 SA)
I bought one a few years ago but don't like the look of the studs (rusty-look weak)
This manifold is on EPay right now. Seller claims Mustangs used C70E-9431A. I've seen most
posts here mention C6OE? Anywho, need some guidance :-)

I know the date code is later than I need. Most of my date codes are 10/66 or so if someone has a manifold

Love the fender fill with those tires.

They're rubbing.

Hello Keith,

The tires on 0100 have never rubbed anywhere on the car.


Thanks,
Eric

   235-60-15 Goodyears? That's what I have on #314, they don't rub.

I am painting an early "red light" car. The lenses in the scoops haven't been removed in decades. It looks like they should come off with a counter-clockwise turn, but I don't want to break them trying something incorrect. Please advise! Thanks

    If by chance you have the interior out could you post some pics of the wiring
for the scoop lights? Are the scoop light bulbs one filament or two?
thanks

Has anyone used Retro Radio Restoration  to convert their radios?

If so, what was your experience
thanks

Bob,
    As always, thanks for your help! I remember 15-20 years
ago finding it easier to remove the tank and having to remove
the tail light panel for easier access, just wasn't trusting my memory   

I remember now, the last time I did this I was having fuel delivery problems,
car would stall, be hard to restart. I discovered that the fuel sock on a repop fuel
sender had fallen off. I removed the tank to inspect it (was clean, in good shape)
and removed the fuel sock from the tank  :-)

I had the flashing headlight problem. Put in a 67 Cougar headlight
switch, works well.

thanks for that info

Hi all,
      Want to replace my fuel line connections and need the clamps.
Anyone have 8 to sell. Don't need any other hardware and AMK has
the $30 minimum order  :-(
thanks

Finally got around to replacing the fuel sender today,
got tired of using the trip odometer to figure out my fuel level  :-)
Was able to remove it without much fuss. Kept the rubber o-ring in place
using a little grease to hold it in place. Bought the Scott Drake repo as I don't
think NOS is available anymore? Any who, all is good again!

Bob,

I'm pretty sure my fuel sender needs to be replaced.
1. Is it possible to remove the sender without dropping the tank?
    I'm thinking the transverse muffler would prevent that option?
2. Does the tail panel have to be removed in order to remove the fuel filler?
    I remember replacing the sending unit many years ago and I couldn't remove
    the tank because of the fuel filler being in the way.
thanks

It's unfortunate but I'm sure the Admin did everything he/she//they could.
The forum has been and will be the great resource that it is.
thanks much.
