I am just guessing here, wouldn't spacers go between the Ears and the Body?

Not originally . 

Are the etched type available or is it only the embossed style from CJ and Branda?

The ones CJ or Branda sells are not correct in a variety of ways. Not the least of which they are the wrong OEM mfg for Mustang/Shelby. Short of finding rare used working or NOS bulbs there is a way to get what you need. NPD sells a exact stencil one specific for GE and the other for Tung-Sol .You sand etch it on the bulb yourself. You need to source a GE or Tung Sol donor bulb. Tung Sol is no more but GE still makes headlight bulbs . A non halogen bulb is a must. The non halogen GE bulbs are getting hard to find and typically have to be sourced on the secondary market. There is also a issue of the flute design on the glass however it is a non issue IMO in everything other then Thoroughbred/DIV I concours. GE and Tung Sol  were the two mfg's bulbs typically used on the Shelby's 65-70 not because they were Shelby specific but because they were the ones used at the plants building Mustangs. The molded/embossed FOMOCO was only used on Westinghouse bulbs now known as Wagner. The Westinghouse bulbs were typically used at other Ford assembly plants for other body style cars

The typical go to mirror for the add on 65 is the bullet mirror which would have been the most easily accessed from the Ford parts department and used on all 66's .The Talbot style would be second IMO. Ether way it is your car so do what you think best for you.

Wanted 1965/66 black fastback or coupe sun visors . They need to be undamaged and without clip impressions. I can deal with faded ones if need be. PM me if you can help.

What about this one: https://www.compcams.com/factory-muscle-228-227-solid-flat-cam-for-ford-221-302.html

That one reads out of stock.

Thank you for posting .The memories are very much appreciated .

Bob, would a C90X Ford unit have any stampings or casting IDs on the bottom? I never examined one up close.

I never paid that much attention because of it's lack of historical context in my GT350 interests. The C9OX marking is clue enough so you don't have to go any farther. There was /is relatively little demand for that one and consequently was not reproduced.

It could be a base for a double hump early lid given the absence of the breather indention on a typical repro open element base as seen in the black circle. Hard to say for sure unless a early date code can be found metal stamped into the base. I can't distinguish one from the picture provided. A date code is absent in the OP picture but may be concealed by paint.

Unusual for a old repro part to have a Fomoco trademark given civil liabilities. Blades are not shaped like is typical. Maybe very old. Not original for any 65/66 hipo Mustang at the very least regardless of date code or balancing weights.   

Appears to be a reproduction. The elongated intake ports should be 4 evenly spaced/sized apertures for a square bore carburetor. The firing order script looks too large nor does it have a s1ms ID. The lower lid is missing a breather port. Value?

Not a reproduction but the C90X intake was one of the last if not the last version Cobra intake you could  buy over the counter from Ford before being obsoleted by Ford. Once it was obsoleted was when there was a incentive by the aftermarket to come up with a Cobra intake. The elongated intake ports was what Ford started doing to their intake starting in 1969. Ford stopped using the S1MS marked intake after 1965. With improved breathing modifications Ford marked those intakes and all of the many versions of that with S2MS 1966-68. The air cleaner base is most likely a after market replacement with little value.

I agree, the roll cage will stay 100%
Original owner 100% sure it was ordered with it.
Mirror on side I would like to get, anyone make out type?

You should check with Howard to see if he has anything on the rollbar.

Thanks Bob.Been taking to Howard a bit about the race history and roll cage. Filling in some gaps. 2nd owner is also certain he saw the car and it had roll cage in it just after pick up new.

Hard to prove SA put it in, theory was maybe dealer asked them to put it in after? The dealer and SA were close in location

If that close then Hi-Performance Motors might be the likely installer IMO.

Hi Bob,

"Yep" to no black boarder.

Thanks

Cory

Yep it would seem the current decal offered by Branda with red background and no black border is the closest thing to original that you can currently buy.

Yep.

I vote that the top is also a repop. It has a rougher sand cast surface not the original smooth die cast look.

The round pencil eraser looking ejection mold ports seen on the bottom side in the picture indicate it is a diecast assemblyline lid.
