65 K code sticker location help
« on: October 04, 2019, 06:43:04 PM »
I have a 65 convertible K code built in Dearborn December 64,
I am restoring the engine bay and would like to know what stickers were used and where they are located.
Also any other identification markings like grease paint etc. would be great !
Not building a 100 point car but trying to be as accurate as possible.   

Cheers !!

Off the top of my head - will try and post a collection of supporting pictures

- Service decal - Drivers side shock tower

- Battery inspection sticker filled out correctly - Passenger side front inner fender panel near starter relay

- Engine ID sticker - for a December/November built engine think it was still on water pump neck

- Engine cubic inch decal - - Flat outer ring of air cleaner lid

- AUTOLITE replacement decal - Opposite side of the air cleaner lid

- There would be a heavy red paper tag stapled in two places that attaches over the pig tail wire for the radio resistor at the voltage regulator. Not really a decal but a bonus to the discussion

Similar car, production period and plant - just a month different and different engine
Ignore the notes and pictures that do not relate to your car's details

As mentioned in other threads I don't suggest you buy one of the kits and built individual quality stickers there is often a big difference.

Kits will include stickers for things that were originally ink stamped and are often incorrect for your car. This woul dinclude things like starter, ignition coil and voltage regulator cover.




Hope this helps

From examples built at Dearborn around Dec 64


- Service decal -



And a close up.



- Battery inspection sticker filled out correctly -



- Engine ID sticker -



- Engine cubic inch decal - This example didn't get either of the AUTOLITE  style decals. Have seen a few examples of this taking place



- Heavy red paper tag at the radio resistor pig tail at the voltage regulator.

if you are referring to the white/red plastic tag that comes with the repro battery then no it is not correct. in fact it was not even available back then.
