1967 Mustang / Re: 67 Remote view mirror glass date code

« Last post by dkknab on Today at 09:49:53 PM »

Following the decipher you describe, it seems odd that the numbers on the several "JC" mirrors I have seen so far are all SEPTEMBER dates (or is it?). If others concur, this code on my mirror would be 1966, September C7 engineering. This fits well to my need but I have t wonder why there are other 1967 examples like  1 DM1 7 OR 4 DM1 3

I was beginning to think there were two suppliers. JC and DM

Maybe too complicated to understand at this point in time...

Very old thread but I'm trying to get a handle on the etching on my side door mirrors.

My driver side is etched 12-DMI-7
My passenger door mirror which I have no documentation confirming when it was installed is 6-DMI-7

The base my passenger mirror is C7AB17743 A. Below that is 15 15 53 1

What do these numbers tell you?

1966 Mustang / Re: When was change L8 C5OE cast iron water pump phased out to the C6OE version?

« Last post by jwc66k on Today at 08:07:57 PM »

Jim,
I have the cast date indeed from the spot near the starter.
When the car was prepared for the Belgian vehicle inspection that it had to pass, I had the starter motor removed to have a picture of that casting number.
So, do we have sufficient information to identify which water pump is needed?
We can be pretty sure of an assembly date close to okt 1st 1965 (while the car model is already a 1966.)

In short: do we have sufficient info as to which water pump to get hold of?

Again, that's the engine block casting date, NOT the engine assembly date. Back to my reply, number 9 for ENGINE assembly date location.
Jim

Drivetrain / Re: Autolite 4300 Carburetor C9ZF-F

For some reason carb rebuilders have a hard problem getting 4300's to run right. At least from mine and just about everyone I know experience. If anyone has FIRST hand experience with someone who can rebuild a 4300 and make it run properly there are a lot of us out here that would like to know . Many say that they can but when you get the pretty restored carb it doesn't run right or runs ok for a week and then goes to s#!t.  Many enthusiasts just give up trying to get one to run right and run a Holley.

Ain't that the truth. I took me over 10 years to get these Webers to run right on my VW engine. The experience got this one offf a 66 done in a day. See attached.

Of course you can wait around and hope a restored one shows up. Since that carb is not in high demand most that restore and sell will not put the time and money into it to sit on a shelf. Your best chance is to find one used and have it restored. best of luck on your search.

If you do get the one you need and it does need a rebuild, scratch some "code" on the underside as an ID and take a picture of it. A couple of members of my Mustang club sent their carbs out to get rebuilt only to get something else backJim

I am looking for a restored Autolite 4300 carburetor, C9ZF-F, for a 1969 Mustang 390 Mach 1 with an automatic transmission.  Given the fact these aren't as popular as the Holley counterparts, does anyone have a recommendation on the best place to find one?  Most of the vendors I see selling restored carburetors only seem to carry the Holley.  Thank you in advance for your assistance.

1967 Mustang / Re: 67 Coupe trunk filler panel

« Last post by Bob Gaines on Today at 05:18:08 PM »

Signature 67 coupe is in body shop for rear end damage repair.  Photos below are of the masonite filler panel found by the body shop, in the Left rear corner of the trunk void.  The Right side filler panel is totally missing, if there ever was one.   I think originally these panels were flat and covered the inside well between the quarter panel and trunk floor, then covered by the trunk mat.

Have researched older CMF posts, and occasional references are made to these trunk panels being reproduced.   Does anyone know if they are available/source for a 67 coupe?

>Left side only. Early 67 used the Masonite with two large screws holding it down. Coupe, fastback or convert are all the same for this part. https://www.npdlink.com/product/trunk-side-filler-board-lh/206033
