Thanks Scott. At this point, we do know that the heads are '66 289.

Just looked in the GT/CS Recognition Guide/Owner's Manual. It does mention in the 289 2V writeup that by the time GT/CS production began, the 302 block for the "C" code engine was in use, despite the 289 designation in advertising literature. So that does means that 289 engines were being...

My car is a C code, so it is a 289 2v car. The PO told me that he had the engine rebuilt, including .30 over pistons and the appraisal that came with the car mentions that it is the rebuilt original engine. I have the car into my shop right now, as one of the heads is cracked and I am going to...

Sounds like a brake switch issue.

Don't know about the year, but the lights look round to me. Cool picture!!

Sounds to me like you have fixed your problem. Air in the cooling system is not a good thing. :smile:

Easy now...I'm older than him! :wink: Happy Birthday! :grin:

Mine came from: Cecil Whitebone Inc. 990 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco CA. It was one of the first 1,000 GT/CS cars ordered at the promotional party put on at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. I don't know if the dealership had them, but I'd love to find a plate frame from there. :cool:

That would be a very interesting thread...:cool:

Thanks for the offer. My original source fell through, but with the car set to go into the shop next week, I will need to obtain heads locally. I believe I have a plan in the works.

I believe it is a spacer to keep engine heat away from the carburetor. If there was a spacer under the carb, I'd put it back.

Again Scott, thank you. Seems I'm always learning something on this site. So far, only 1966 289 heads are available. Waiting to hear from another source.

Thanks for that Scott. I don't know if this car had the thermactor originally. I'm going head hunting....:grin:

Hi Scott. It's a C-4 automatic and was sold in San Francisco, so a US DSO.

My GT/CS was built mid-March and has a 289 2-V engine. One of the heads has a crack which is getting worse. My mechanic wants me to source another set of heads and get them rebuilt for installation on the engine. I strongly suspect that the car has non-original heads, as the PO told me that...

Sent my entry a few minutes ago. Thanks Jon! :cool:

Kind of ironic that you are doing this the same month that your car is the calendar star. :cool: Nice work by the way!!

Pretty sure Neil is right on. My trunk, with the exception of the top of the gas tank, is body colour. I had an original 67 coupe a few years back that was the same. Both cars had the sound deadener on the inside of the quarters, but it was painted body colour also.

You are most welcome. :smile:
