Does the 67 390/289Hipo clutch fork have any part or engineering numbers stamped into it, and if so what would they be. Have seen pics of 390 forks with C8 numbers. Thanks. Brian

Don't recall seeing any engineering numbers stamped int he surface

Thanks Jeff.  Was hoping they were numbered as it would make it easier to I.D. one at some of the upcoming swap meets. Can't seem to find any pics that show a good front and side views. Mustangtek website says it's part number C7ZZ-7515-B and 12 3/8" long. Do you know if that's an overall length or measured between some other points? Thanks. Brian

OOPS! Mustangtek says for 67 289 hipo and 67 390 Mustang before 2/15/68 C7ZZ-7515-D 12" long. I was reading 67 Mustang Fairlane 390 description for the 7515-B 12 3/8". Brian

I understand this post is about a year old, but I just started looking.

These are tough to find and just as hard to find a picture of one.
In case others are wondering what the deal is, this arm is a very long 12" compared to a standard 289 fork. Almost 3" longer. It's only used on 67 HiPos and 67 through early 68 390 4Vs (only, not 2V). That's why they are rare.

In the pic below I'm using the small T.O. bearing version of the 12" fork found in a late 60s 390 F150 and it's pictured next the 9" version everyone tends to use as a replacement and fitted to my car.
This is a length comparison. The F150 version is not correct except for length.




I'm still looking for the correct picture of the 67 fork. And the real thing for use in my car.

I don’t have a picture, but did you try allclassicmustang for obtaining the real deal?

Bill -- Thanks! I sent them a request for a pic and if good I'll get it.

Bought and paid for!

This thing looks real close to the F150 fork I posted. Weird.
