If you are talking about the radiator cap inlet and if centered or not then the one that is centered is not for a Mustang. Mustangs radiator have the radiator cap offset. I think that one that is centered is for early Falcon .

The AMK guide to fasteners has a comprehensive listing of the Ford fastener numbers that refer back to the categories in the guide.

That's one book I don't have,  yet.

Like Jim, I did not find the C4ZA-3043 part listed anywhere.  I checked 1964,65, 66 single year parts and accessories catalogs, and the 1960-68 master parts and accessories catalog.

The closest I found was from the 1966 catalog, with three unique parts, each with a different thickness.  The only difference is the C5ZZ service part number as opposed to the C4ZA engineering part number.  They are likely one and the same.  Since this was a day two modification, Ford should have used the service part number - tsk tsk.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply and the information you included in it. I think the shims mentioned in the 1968 Introduction Manual section are the same as the ones listed on the link below. If no one else on the forum has tried this yet, I may have to be the guinea pig for the experiment.

Thanks again.

I also received these clip nuts when I ordered new grille opening pieces from NPD. I didn't use them because they don't look correct at all.  The nuts are yellow dichromate and smaller than the previous one pictured.  If they are ok I suspect I could remove the yellow dichromate finish.

First: Congratulations on using a Ford hardware part number in your post. It seem that many Forum member are afraid to do that.
Now for the good news. The clip nut you need is the one on the right in your picture. It is available from AMK as Ford hardware part number 381863-S32 (note finish, -S32, black or olive drab enamel), AMK stock number B-12248 (6ea for $4).
This is documented in this Forums' library under "Mustang Hardware Spreadsheet 67-68".
Jim

Thanks Jim. I found the item in the spreadsheet that I have been referring to often but I couldn't figure out which AMK part was correct. How do I make the leap from Spreadsheet to AMK? I seem to recall for some items there is often the AMK item listed but not in this case.

Also, I did find AMK part nr B-12251 that lists 45144 in the heading and the clip looks like the one on the left. It's also the Ford part number for the clips on the grille opening finish piece.

Parts for Sale / Early 65 no rib, bulbous bendix housing starter

« Last post by Bossbill on May 16, 2024, 06:40:50 PM »

As per the title, this is the early starter that is easily distinguished in and out of the car as original. There are few reinforcement ribs on the C3 nose and the bendix cover is the unusual bulbous style that is very round on the one end.

It appears original in all respects.

150 plus the ride.
