Or AMK for $32 even and that way I can order those other few bits I need.  I always seem to end up not needing $30 worth of fasteners to meet their minimum.  I wish they wouldn't do that and just fill all orders regardless of the size.  I know time is money but a sale is a sale. I'm done venting.

I get all of my AMK fasteners from NPD.  I never have any problem spending 30 buck there lol.

Sometimes you answer your own questions. I was looking up a carburetor number for a neighbor in my "Mustang & Fords Small Block V8, 1962-1969" and found that the "Fan of Unknown Origin" is an early 64-65 standard 260-268 fan. If Bob Mannel say that's what it is, I'm satisfied.

In this "capital" oriented, "capitalist" country of America, the "business" of "business" is to make "money". The truth does make you want to vent sometimes.

Drivetrain / A Fan Of Unknown Origine -

« Last post by jwc66k on May 17, 2024, 06:23:13 PM »

OK, what do I have? Unfortunately I don't know the origin, I got a lot of Mustang/Ford parts from a shop that closed several years back. The measurements are just a bit short of 17 inches, one blade section is 16 7/8 inches tip to tip (pic 2) the other blade section is 16 5/8 inches. I made a close up of one blade section end for the FOMOCO marking in script (the other blade section is identical) and there is a number "3" and a letter "E" (both inverted to the FOMOCO) on each but very faint (pic 3).
Using the 75 edition of "Ford Car Parts" (aka MPC), I "matched" the blade length (17 inches, there are no 16 inch and fractions lengths listed) , number of blades (4), center hose size (5/8 inch), "marking" info in the description column (there is no Ford part number stamped) to come up with this C2OA-8600-B, 64 260, 289 (ex HP), and also 66 Falcons.
Any comments?
Jim

Go to a local front end alignment shop and see if they will let you have a couple of 1960's Mustang alignment shims. See if they "work", then buy some. NPD carries them under their stock numbers, "T-3043-1, 2, 3, and 4", different thicknesses and prices, but you can get a picture online from the NPD website to show the shop what you need.

1969 Mustang / Re: Window crank screw cover

« Last post by keeper on May 17, 2024, 05:00:54 PM »

Thankyou guys for the fast response time. I need to get the insert piece out in order to get to the screw to remove the door panel. Unfortunately, the car will be leaving for Ozarks on Wed and doubt replacement parts will get to my shop in time. If they get damaged. Poor planning on my part but I will try the hairdryer trick and Xacto knife with great care and see if I can pop it free, with great care.

Hi John,

Thanks for sleuthing out this information for me. At this point, I think I will order a package of the 1/16 inch shims, and see how it goes from there. Probably try a short stack of them on both of the forward column studs, and see how much lift that provides to the steering wheel. Hopefully it will make entry/exit a little less awkward than it is now. If I was the same size now as I was in '68 it wouldn't be an issue.
