Suspension / Re: Original brake calipers - 1968 to 1970

It seems counter intuitive that there would be a need for the black out paint if the calipers were already protected from flash rust by the plating? That is unless some were and others weren't and they blacked them out regardless.

Thanks everyone. So those two parts are just rubber bumpers to reduce rattles and avoid scratching the quarter panels?

After further cleaning, the calipers from my 02/26/69 GT500 appear to be zinc plated with some remnant black paint on wheel facing side.   Has zinc been seen much on 69 calipers before.

Power to the ignition switch and fuse block is by wire 38A, a black wire which is connected to the solenoid at the same terminal as the battery. 38A is spliced to wire 37, it is a black wire with a yellow stripe. This wire passes through a 4-pin flat connector (14290 / 14401). From this connector power goes to both the ignition switch and fuse block. This connector would be the first thing I would be looking at, I believe it is located near the brake master cylinder where the engine wiring goes through the firewall. An open connection on wire 38A or 37 will kill both the ignition switch and lights.

Yes, the upper console is part of the deluxe interior.

Jeff has a good start on isolating the problem.  I'd check the fuse box first, then the ignition switch and the connector. 

There are lots of things I can think of that match your situation, too many to discuss without more information.  Could be as simple as a bad ground, but since you can crank the engine, that tells me that at least power is going to the ignition switch and back out to the starter solenoid.

Electricity to me has always been like hydraulics. Your have the source (the battery) that flows through the wires to the rest of the car. 

Guess you have a wiring diagram and a test light or meter.

1- Got power leaving the solenoid?

2- Got power to the ignition switch?

3- Which wires are energized when the ignition switch is turn on?

4- Power to one of the small wires at the solenoid when the key is on?

5- Power to the other small wire at the solenoid when the key is turn to start?

6- All the fuses good and power to which ones with the ignition off


Those are the easy ones and the basis I would start with

Midlife should be around soon he's the expert in these matters. I just get lucky and fix things often in a none professional way.

1966 Shelby / Re: Mixing Insructions GT350H Bronze Gold Powder

« Last post by J_Speegle on May 09, 2024, 11:10:43 PM »

I also understand the some Shelby Mustangs received the Painted Stripes from the dealers as Shelby's price was to expensive.  Which could mean that not all Shelby Gold Stripes are the same color.  Since this is an Original Hertz Shelby with number in the 1200's I suspect that Shelby painted the stripes and not the dealer who received the vehicle.  Can you help with the mixing instructions for this Bronze Gold Powder per Shelby's instructions?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

Believe you will find that stripes added by the dealers was often done to please a buyer since a fair number of buyers didn't want the stripes nor the attention from the police they brought but there. If a buyer wanted a specific car they had on the lot and the buyer wanted to have stripes added it was another way for the dealer to add to the price.

Since we're specifically discussing gold stripes we're just looking at cars leased or sold to Hertz so I don't think you will find those documented with stripes added when new. Just delayed getting them out to the locations and Hertz would have likely pitched a fit if they were delivered with out stripes since that was the way they were advertised


BTW welcome to the site.  Hope you find the support and answers you need for your restoration
