What did you do to your '67 today?

[KR500]

Just replaced the rear axle seals Saturday on our 68 GT/CS. They probably were the originals. They are marked C7OW-1177-L    7-4   N.S. with a rectangular FoMoCo with red sealer around the circumference of the seal. N.S. = National Seal, National used red sealer, Chicago Rawhide ( CR ) used green. I don't think your seals would have been assembly line seals as the oval FoMoCo has been xx out. I have seen this in the past on parts produced by an OEM supplier but with the car company's logo xx or ground off in an OEM box. Example, Bendix disc pads with the FORD logo xx out in a Bendix box. And just not only on Ford parts but other car companies also. Most likely they were manufactured to be assembly line or service parts that ended up being over runs by National or that Ford didn't need at that time and they couldn't be sold to other part suppliers with the FoMoCo logo so they xx it out IMO.

Does washing the mud off from driving in the rain on dirt roads count?

That makes perfect sense Rodney. Many thanks for the detailed response.

Moved the fuel line into the correct loop, scratch another off the list

Meant in a helpful way a item to add to list - change coil wire to have straight in bell shape boot at coil and right angle boot at dist cap. That is if the list is for changing items to be more historically assemblyline correct which I suspect it is .

I started up a few and then drove the 71 pickup I bought from Mrs Kiwi,...with the "injected" 383 stroker motor.
Left some Sik marks on the road.
RIP KIWI.

Thanks, JD.  But there was only one other '67, a GT350.  Truth be told, my car is a 15 footer.  The other car was much nicer.

I took 0036 out to the Autobahn Country Club for the annual Chicago Vintage Mustang Club show. 110 entries plus we had about 4 not-so- slow parade laps.  I had a ride -along: a 12 year old who is likely a future Shelby enthusiast. Great time (10/10/20211)

And no one documented this with photographs?

Getting ready to go to French Lick, IN.

Wait! The left rear turn signal doesn't work. And the brake lights don't work.

But the right turn signal DOES work.

Decided it must be the turn signal switch. Our friends at NPD have a replacement.

Here we go.









Getting the new wires back down the steering column, now that's the tricky part. No picture taking, just tedious work involving string and knot tying.
