1967 Mustang / Air Inlet & Filter Mounting Brackets - 390 with Smog

« Last post by krelboyne on May 14, 2024, 10:08:13 PM »

I believe that the one on the far right was used only in 1966, Ford casting number C6AE-9B453-B. 1967 Engine Assembly manual calls out this part for both, 240-6 and 390 engines.

The middle bracket (which is a modified version of the above bracket) has been found on an early (Sept 1966) S code Mustang. Documented by Tim Lea in an old post. Number stamped C6AE-9B453.

The C7AE-9B453 bracket (far left) has been mentioned in older posts as being correct for 1967. It does not show up in my MPC's, indicates "C6AE-9B453-B for 1966-67 390 and 289 with A/C".
It does appear in the 1967 engine assembly manual, Pages 120-121. Part number called out as C7AE-9B453-B.
*Note, also used on 289-2V and 289-4V with A/C

For installation on 1967 cars, anyone have a query of when the changeover may have occurred?

1966 Mustang / Re: C4ZE Y1 4 Speed Radiator Questions

« Last post by Bob Gaines on May 14, 2024, 09:41:47 PM »

I have a C4ZE Y1 (4th. wk of April 1966) 4 speed radiator that I will be having flushed/pressure tested at a local radiator shop.  Should the radiator be painting semi-gloss black? Also, for what prices have these been sold?

When new they were more on the glossier side of semigloss spectrum however after a few heat cycles the paint typically dulls down .

1966 Mustang / Strange Build Date 10 V

« Last post by D0ZZ70MACH on May 14, 2024, 09:20:47 PM »

Hello all.

Here's one that I've not seen before but hopefully someone else has an answer. The build date on the door data plate of this Dearborn built 1966 A code is 10V. Since Ford used A-M for the month codes, could this simply be mis-stamped by the factory? I won't have access to the car until Thursday to confirm the build date / date stamps of various components on the car.

Thanks for the help!!!

The hood stripe formula I used was:

1 part White - 48488
1 part Flattener  - T1F271

The deck lid is a tape stripe, so not much choice.

The shaker scoop was painted by the supplier, so it wasn't textured and was more than likely slightly different than the hood stripe.

I puchased 1 quart of textured low gloss black from TCP Global in 2021, cost $97 but the end result is fantastic. Instructions say to apply two wet coats. I used the stencil too.

Thanks for the review of the product and process. It hopefully helps many
