Title: 66 Running Change Survey Thread - Dearborn Starter Solenoid
Post by: J_Speegle on November 14, 2022, 07:12:33 PM
Another running change survey for starter solenoids installed at Dearborn.   Same "rules" as the other surveys

 This thread is posted to collect data related to original style and markings of starter solenoids

- This is ONLY for 1966 Mustangs assembled at Dearborn

- If you want to add your findings to the survey provide the car's VIN (you can leave off the last two numbers if you choose to keep it private) and the projected build date from the original door/warranty tag. If you happen to have the original date of sale that might help also

- Look for features or clues of the part possibly being replaced. Mounting screws, post washer style ......

- We're interested in markings on the top mounting bracket and would not hurt if you included the date marked on the solenoid. Examples of these dates can be found in the Date Coding article in the Library

- Picture would really help confirm things.

Again thanks for your time

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Will wait for input, examples and data to post any findings
