You're welcome.

I have analysed the cast number when I first got hold of Muscadelle, and could conclude the cast date of the engine block to be 22 sept '65.
The actual production date of the car would be 07 okt '65.
The engine casting date is located on the lower right hand side behind the starter. Your should see this Ford part number "C5AE-6015-E" in raised letters along with the casting date. The actual engine assemble date is actually in two places, on the mounting surface for the oil pan and not visible unless the oil pan is removed, and as I described above, by the distributor.
Engine blocks were cast, then allowed to cool outdoors for a couple of days (occasionally a month or two) before machining and assembly.

I only recall them being used on the front of the 69 coupe. The photos with 2 are clearly 70.

Body, Paint & Sealers / Re: Interior paint acrylic emanel (enamel) vs Acrylic Urethane

Modern urethanes are usually the most preferable.  Go with a single stage and have it flattened to something like an eggshell/satin appearance.  Original was lacquer, but it doesn't hold up very well with use.. ring/watch scratches, shoe scuffs.

Body, Paint & Sealers / Interior paint acrylic emanel (enamel) vs Acrylic Urethane
« Last post by Corey Bowcutt on Today at 01:17:43 PM »
I am looking to paint the dash, doors... of the interior of my 1964.5 convertible with blue Code 82 interior.  I was talking with the guys at TCP global and they gave two options acrylic Enamel and Acrylic Urethane.  He told me the advantages and disadvantages of both.  But what I am most concerned with is matching the original sheen.  Is there one of these paints that matches the original sheen better than the other?

Thank you,

Corey

Jim, thanks for the quick response.

I'm not near the car right now.
I have analysed the cast number when I first got hold of Muscadelle, and could conclude the cast date of the engine block to be 22 sept '65.
The actual production date of the car would be 07 okt '65.
The car was ordered by the first owner on 16 nov '65 (according to the type machine fill out on the original manual).

Does this help sufficiently to direct me to a proper alternative pump, or should I truly need to produce similar images as the ones you submitten in order to progress?
(In the latter case, I can do that at earliest during the Week-End)

I was in SF during summer 2022 on vacation, on a road trip. Enumerating the impessive things I will remember would bring us all way of topic here :)
