As Jeff may have eluded, an engine sitting for years can develop stuck rings. Simply driving fixed mine.
Here is more of what can be learned from a leak down test.

Thanks guys! I'm going to start welding up some holes.

Hammer them flat since they often are irregular from tightening the screw or drill bit into the hole when made

Get a cooper plate to hold on the back side and it should go well

This is the plenum I had installed for years. Never lost a point because it meets the requirement on the Concours judging sheet. Agree it is not exactly the same as what you normally see but it is a OEM 65/66 ford plenum. Dealer replaced???

I remember when the first Mustangs came out they were nothing more than a nice looking car with cheap stuff, mostly Falcon (it was called "special Falcon" for a while). That "Falcon" connection may be what you find in 64, and yes, the 1965 Mustangs were "better".

Looking for a nice OEM or nos C6AE 4 blade fan blade dated F66, G66 or H66.  No pits, nicks or severe rust.

For the record, what engine, year and options (if any) is this fan for?

I'm not sure why Ford did the color differences, maybe to make it to look more different than '64.5 for the '65 model year intro?  All of the interior codes changed from '64.5 to '65.  The '64.5 colors are a little brighter/nicer than the '65 colors from what I've seen, at least the medium blue and red.  I like the '65 white interior better that '64.5 as the early white is more 'creamy' and the '65 is brighter white with a pearl appearance to the vinyl.  Not many have paid attention to these differences and quite frankly, many have no idea there was a difference.

I have a 4 blade fan but the only marking I see is FOMOCO on each of the blades.
