Topic: 67 GT500 Thermactor questions

[J_Speegle]

I have that schematic, but I see at least two versions 11/66, and 2/67 revsion for some of the hose routngs

Now I find all the assembly manual pictures. As mentioned - shows some details that apply while others don't. Think there are 12 somewhat related published there.

The alternator adjusting bracket is not correct for GT500 application. The correct one has a another bend to clear the large diameter GT500 /police intercepter balancer.

Will have to dig that one out and check the number. Thanks for catching that one - as I mentioned need to reassemble parts and redo that picture. Appears I need to put a -C  adjusting arm there in its place.   Just noticed the pump adjuster is missing also


Thanks for the correction

My comments were in reference to the long tubes in the picture that I posted not another. The short one I write about is not in the picture but just a written description.

Sorry - saw that it followed the picture and guessed it was in reference to it.   The fun of threads

These systems are a lot more complicated then they appear.   

Too bad most were pitched into the garbage.

Very little about 67 Shelby's is easy. 

At least we've got just about all the details worked out - finding and collecting the pieces is the challenge IMHO. Should have been here 15-30 years ago dealing with any thermactor issue. We were always told by the head judges back in the 80-90's to take it easy on the cars at Mustang national shows when it came to that subject. Gotten allot better

Jeff,  you might find that no fun trying  . The GT500/PI alt adjusting  brackets I have seen did not have a engineering number on them like the 390 one does. The no number is one way to tell you may have the correct one.

Just as a point of clarification, I am sure Bob & Jeff must know the Original Poster and that the car he is working on is a 67 GT500, but I have not seen it mentioned in any of the OP's comments within this thread. User name is the closest clue I have seen besides a few of the comments that would distinguish that detail for say, somebody else looking at this thread working on a 67 S-code with Thermactor.

Yes, I apologize, it is a GT500. Until this thread, I was not aware there would be any differences, hence the generic big block description.

Title adjusted and subject moved to a more appropriate location

Bob put me together with a Canister/filter, I need to take a good picture of the alternator brackets on the car to see if they are right or wrong.

[J_Speegle]

This the one you have?

[2112]

Well, I bought one that I believe is that one, but there is one on the car now too. Pics tonight after work.   

[J_Speegle]

There is another version (likely different sub contractor) of that bracket that does not have those two center holes to the left and right above the engineering number


Have you looked at your passenger side shock tower (assuming its original) yet?   The mounting location of the filter/can will determine what hoses you need connecting it to the diverter valve

Good Grief, Ran home to take a few pics, had a dead battery, ran back to the store, got home only to discover that bracket must be sitting on the shelf at the office. But I did take a couple of real time pics of how the car sits now.

Not sure I understand your question about the passenger side shock tower. I hope the first one answers it.

Please ignore the Caution Fan sticker. I have not taken the heat gun to it yet.

Car was restored about 20 years ago by a non Shelby expert, as it sits now, it is a driver.

Was looking to confirm yours was one of the cars that had the filter attached to the passenger side shock tower. Not all but would have expected based on your VIN that the holes were be there  or even hidden by a PO trying to erase the Thermactor history. Look they are there

Means your need the bracket and a different hose to attach the filter to the pump compared the the other style

Noticed your request/wanted ad over on the SAAC site.  Checked one of my boxes today - we'll "talk" off thread and see if I can help out with a few things

Thanks Jeff,

Here is the bracket I bought;
