Thanks both for your hints.
I know that some things have to be done still.

Hose blue, wiring ignition coil black, 90* and so on...

However, I wanted to show the position of the coil.

The label position I gonna change quickly, this is the easiest part.

About the hose clamp you mentionrd, which type has to be used?

Regarding the alternator I was not aware of 69.
 How to identify that one? And what would be the correct alternator, e.g. Deadnuts is offering? Style, eng. Number?

Thanks a lot.

Dead Nuts On has great examples that you can use to go by. After March of 1969 Ford alternators were metal stamped instead of ink stamped like the 67 versions . Yours is metal stamped so at least some later the 67 parts were used to rebuild the alternator.

The reference was to the bypass hose clamp that you could just see. Originally those clamps were small tower clamps though just a little narrower band than the ones used on the heater hoses as shown below and shared with the 67 GT350 that year and the prior years

Both the assemblyline heater hose clamp and the bypass hose clamp are 1 1/16 but the heater hose is a wider band and is marked #10 on the inside and the bypass is a narrow band with a smaller thread size screw but the head is the same 3/8 size. The bypass is marked with a #2 in the inside of the band. If you can't tell the difference just remember the #2 on the inside.

Made a search, but couldn't find the original Wittek Tower Clamps, just Wittek (bankruptcy 1993) repros, very close, but not like factory.
Anyone a better source?

For the narrow ones at least I don't believe there is a source where you can just order them up and give them you credit card number. Not that easy.  Source will likely be an individual with a couple that came from a donor engine
