Maybe this is of some help

Appreciate you taking the time to share the info, Joe

Had hope to get some feedback from those of you that drive your 428CJs as to modern spark plugs.

Autolite and the Cobra Jet Registry website list these:
A45 Copper Core
AP45 Platinum
APP45 Double Platinum.

Anybody want to share, Joe

Time for new plugs on the KR stock 428CJ driver, asking for recommendations(experiences) for readily available plugs.

Thanks, Joe

Initiated this post to highlight that even in your garage "s**t" happens. Yes there was damage but not its first in my 40+ years of ownership.

Thanks for asking.

Our Shelby is stored in a garage equipped with an STANLEY overhead chain driven garage door opener and has a control pad near the entry door.  We entered the other day and activated the door to open.

The garage door opened BUT did not stop.  Within the seconds it took to realize what was happening and deactivating the door, the trolley "two blocked (crashed)" into the opener drive unit.  The light panel fell out, the drive housing distorted with screws/plastic parts popping out, and the chain disengaged/fell after the gear casing broke in two.  Again, this all happened in seconds.

After removing everything, I noticed the manufacturer of drive motor – check the picture LOL.

Set of repro bumper brackets, FREE if you need them.

PM me, thanks

Bob,

Thanks and always appreciated, Joe

Recent post made reference to Brass Tag Cars, something new for me.

Saw this picture of a tag on this link:

Is this the type of reinforced burlap that was used by Ford to cover seat springs?
