Scott, please do. Send you a PM with the information. Thanks!

Scott, is the foam closed cell, open cell or what. Looking around for this stuff is crazy. Checked Macmaster Carr and wasn't smart enough to choose the correct type. What do you think the density would be termed. Also, when you say grey, do you mean "circus elephant grey", or "charcoal grey"...

Thanks everyone, and thank you Scott for measuring your originals. Any more images to post? I am not sure as to the function of the these, I guess to keep the inner edge of the deck lid from contacting ? ? (something). And then the question comes to mind - why were they not used on the...

Does a 68 Shelby conv. share this foam tape application?

Will try the RV store! hadn't considered that source. I had considered cutting down a one inch strip but after exhausting every hardware store in this area it became obvious that all of the one inch wide stuff was also a minimum of 5/16 inch thick. Never did locate anything wider than 3/4 in...

As noted in the newest California Special recognition Guide by Paul Newitt the foam strips on the underedge of the trunk spoiler measure 7/8 inch wide, 1/4 inch thick and 4 1/2 inches long. My originals were long gone so I will have to take his word for the measurements. My question is where...

Rob, you have a difficult task ahead. I searched for one within the past year and finally located a float (used) and it got me out of trouble. It was the foam type, never did get a line on a brass float. Sportyworty who lurks on this forum had at that time a partial - as I remember - 4300...

We live just South of Springfield, and you are welcome to take a look at whatever you need if no one closer chimes in. Murf

Neil, Marty is giving you good advice about the LED tail lights. Even NOS Ford turn signal switches do not last too long on a CS because of the extra load from the added brake and turn signal lights. I have a swing away wheel and the NOS TS switches for it are expensive and sometimes not...

Not certain what you have/need, but I think that I have one C8OF-A distributor in a stash of 68 parts. not interested in parting it but may consider getting rid of the entire thing.

The float from Kurt (carbontooters) arrived yesterday. It was just as he said, and at a reasonable price. Best of all the problem is fixed and the car runs as it should. From my experience I would endorse Carbontooters - he sent what he said he would at the price he quoted and in a timely...

Rob, I neglected to mention that the name of the company where the float was located was Carbontooters. He worked for John at Pony carbs in NY but did not move to NM.

Rob, I am getting one from Kurt Praxl in New York. I had contacted him before posting and he later contacted me. He will ship it Tuesday. I had purchased stuff from him before so the deal was easy. Had no idea these floats had become extinct so this hunt was a surprise. And thanks for the...

Thanks to all of you for the help and the generous offers. A float has been purchased and is on the way. And yes, most parts sources have a listing for that particular float but in truth they have none available. Makes me think that one company manufactured the float and boxed them for other...

Need a float for a 4300 carb, see post in forums for details. Appreciate any leads or advice!

Looking for a float for a 4300 carb, C8ZB - D. This part is used in all 4300 carbs up until about 71 and in some applications later. They seem to all be gone from the normal parts sources, but here are some Part Numbers if you have stashed stuff over the years or have a friend with old parts...

Just checked mine - April 03 scheduled build date - and it DOES NOT have any raised area around the opening for the gas cap area. The panel is on the car but it is very evident that the opening is just that - an opening - and the area surrounding it has no extra thickness. The "hooded area"...

Guy, will this shirt have a pocket?

Anyone catch how the sale of the CS went and the selling price?

Thanks to all who responded. The strip caulk will remain in place.
