Ammeter Wiring ?

Yes #23 has an insulator behind the terminal block.
Thanks for the tip however.

Just in case anyone wants to make their own terminal block the Mil - Spec part number is MS27212-X-N

Where X = Diameter of the studs (terminals) on the block.
Possibilities:
MS27212-1-N = 6/32 UNC-2A
MS27212-2-N = 10/32 UNF-2A
MS27212-3-N = 1/4 -28 UNF-2A
MS27212-4-N = 5/16 - 24 UNF-2A
MS27212-5-N = 3/8 - 24 UNF-2A
MS27212-6-N = 8/32 UNC-2A

Where N = Number of studs on the terminal block

From the photos it appears to be MS27212-4-N (5/16-24 stud size). You could use any dash number, the parts installed by Shelby American appear to be made only from the ends of a T-block. So regardless of the length of the T - block you would only get two usable parts that were like originals.

Wow Royce, that was impressive.  I was able to find one immediately on ebay.  Do you have any idea who manufactured the shoulder harness retractors on '67s?

Guys,

Is there anything particular with the second or later variant, that I need to be aware of when hooking mine back up ?


Thanks again,
Bob

Might be able to figure it out if you have pictures, especially if they show any cartouche mark of the maker.

Does the first illustration in reply #2 help?

Yes ..... perfectly.

Is there a certain type of insulator that was used? Anyone make them?

[Royce Peterson]

It appears to be 1/32" phenolic sheet, as would have been the case if you could find the Mil - spec unit new in the box. You can buy phenolic sheet under various trade names like Garolite for example:

The https://www.mcmaster.com/phenolic-sheets examples don't look like the insulator that Shelby used. It was more like a thin piece of circuit board looking material. At least that is what it looks like to me. 

[Royce Peterson]

Bob, circuit boards usually were / are made on phenolic / foil sheet. Phenolic runs in various hues depending on batch and grade. It tends to darken as it ages, much like bare wood.

There were cheap transistor radios with plastic circuit boards molded in every imaginable color. Those are not phenolic.

Another source of phenolic sheet is https://www.amazon.com/Online-Plastic-Supply-Phenolic-inches/dp/B081VR42MG/ref=sr_1_25?hvadid=78271487894049&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=phenolic+sheet&qid=1579623720&sr=8-25
There are many grades and colors of phenolic from creamy white to tan to brown to black.

Not disputing your definition just disputing the look. I used the circuit board comparison because that is what it closest reminds me of older transistor board material.  Not plastic ones. It does not look any of the many examples in the link that you posted which is the reason that compelled me to reply.
