I don't know where Drew P. of Air Fuel Spark lives, but he was hit by Helene.  Here is his Facebook post.

the new SAAC forum is nice and getting used to it, but I just have to say it.... I HATE the max staying logged in is just a month!!! Lets make it 10 years to be able to not have to sign in again.

Forever is one of the choices, do you not see it?

Looking through pictures, I see:

PGB R "early" (car #139)

and

PGB R 1 "late" (car #2940)

PGB R with an H servo is what I have seen for 67 GT500 automatics.

Let's see what others say.

Welcome back.

I can make measurements of my original if that will help.  The insertion depth can roughly be seen in the attached picure based on the paint line.

I am not aware of a special intake manifold for thermactor cars.

Press fit?  Mine was removed easily by hand.

Our cars are less than one week apart per Ford build date, so I would think the thermactor systems would be similar.

to 1967 Shelby Research Group
We have no literature or details on FCC.
Only info I have found with a couple quick searches is:

Foreign Car Center, Inc.
Alabama Domestic Corporation
filed on October 8, 1957
The company's filing status is listed as Merged and its File Number is 725-325.
No Registered Agent is on file for this company.

The company has 4 principals on record: Elizabeth M Beddow, William H Beddow, George O Wright, and June S Wright.

If you have the time, my approach would be to research the principals, their offspring, and other surrounding business owners that might remember FCC (Repair shops, junk yards, car dealers).

On the principal angle, you might be able to find their offspring.
Elizabeth M Beddow & William Beddow, deceased 1975
George O Wright
June S Wright
George Onley Wright III 1928-1988
-> maybe George  O Wright 4th, born 1957 is likely a sibling? (addresses and phone numbers are available if you follow the link)

Did Foreign Car Specialists receive any 1967 Shelbys?

According to the 1967 Shelby Research Group, 27 cars went to Foreign Car Center in Birmingham, AL.

E 404 A01 for manual transmission, with EECS.

EECS = Engine Emission Control System, aka Thermactor.

The attached picture of the E 404 A01 engine tag was posted on the Shelby Research Group Facebook page by member Randy Atha.

Was it ever figured out which car this is ? I've reposted the photos from the op, January 20th. 2018.

I believe this is car 67212F4A02928

GT350..out boards...usl...side exhaust...where are the tags from  "67 350 SC"  super charged ? ? ?

There was a question at the time about this being an upper scoop light car with out boards.

There was only one post by this person.


On forum 1.0, this was username "cobradad", aka Clarence.

Here is a link to my website with the information that was in the rebuild kit I bought in the early eighties to rebuild 817's MICO: file:///media/rgsimkins3/UUI/Shelby_Web_Pages/66_GT350H/MICO_MC/MICO_MC.htm.  Interestingly enough, when I told the guy on the phone that I needed a kit for a 704B1, he said "Oh, Shelby Mustang".  I've never had any trouble with the MC and it worked flawlessly the one time I had to make a panic stop.  Hope this helps.

Link does not work when I click on it. Says ,This site can't be reached
