I can confirm that the original Ameriacn magnesiums are 15"x7" with 3.75" BS. Have been racing them for  40 years with 600-15 Goodyears. Just be aware 600-15 tires will still slightly rub on the rear springs and rear fender lips when you really push, even with a panard rod. On the fronts not much of an issue, but be carful backing up with the wheels at full lock.   

Anyone recommend a rebuilder? Thanks Mark

Use some body filler and paint to close the gap. If you want to go back to a 5 gauge cluster break out the filler.

If a standard '65 instrument panel is installed you will see the "dip" from the '66 speedometer. You would have more involvement with rewiring.   

Thanks Jim, great detail.

Try bumping up the initial timing a few degrees and then re-adjust the carb. 

Drew, what don't you like about the DC needle and seat? I have had better luck with it on the race car motor. The fuel flow on the gauge is much more steady between full throttle and throttle cut.   

Check your fuel pressure, 6 psi, if more could be overloading the float. Float levels are pretty easy to adjust, just a pain. Daytona Carb made a better needle and seat which really helps with fuel control.

Float level too high. 

Sorry, ever mind, rebodied.

Would think SAAC could verify with the Ford VIN?

Got a reproduction tail housing. Think Cobras used them I have no need for it but don't know the correct  application. Sure it is a Cowls new reproduction piece. In perfect condition. Any idea on value? Thanks

Couple of questions:

In 1965 the production four seat Mustang fastback was converted to the two seat GT350, this for meet SCCA B/P racing rules. If you had a '65 Mustang fastback in that same time period and wanted to race in SCCA, what SCCA class if any could you compete in with a '65 fastback?  Somewhere I have seen pictures of a '65 GT350 and '65 fastback Mustang in the same race? Maybe just a regional race that needed to fill out the field?

Also, don't understand why Ford could not use fastback Mustangs in the early Trans Am series, as they were production four seaters? Ford did so in 1969.

Anyone know the NSN or aircraft type wiper arm and wiper used on the MKII? The wiper motor and drive was apparently Boeing 707 , but the arm was not. Any info appreciated.
