Mine is the real deal and I forgot about the adjustments for the scoop. Thanks for reminding me that they are there. I had the whole assembly apart last winter and saw how they work. Thanks, Ray

Thanks for warning me about the clear coat because I was thinking about using that. Maybe I'll look into high heat silver paint. Ray

Now that it looks like it will fit I was wondering what to do with the finish on this manifold. It has been sand blasted and has a very rough surface finish. I don't want to paint it Ford blue but if left raw aluminum it'll start looking pretty ugly after a while. Any ideas?

The gasket surface at the water passages looks good at the front but there is some minor corrosion at the blocked off ones at the rear. I'll post some photos later today. Ray

I removed my shaker hood assembly and took some measurements. The aluminum manifold has the same front to rear carb position as the stock cast iron one however on the aluminum one the carb will sit about an 1 1/2 higher then the stock one. On the set up I have now ( see pics ) the PVC plate and extra thick 1/4 gasket is about an 1 1/2. Since the Holley carb has a PCV port on the back that is currently plugged I'm assuming that the PCV plate can be removed and everything will work with my shaker hood scoop. There is a hole in the back of the aluminum intake for the power brake/ modulator hoses so that should all work. Looks to me that it's all good to go. If I'm missing something please let me know. Ray

Thanks for pointing that out. I never thought these manifolds would shift the carb forward. That's going to be an issue with my shaker hood. Going to remove the air cleaner assembly tomorrow and start taking measurements. Will let everyone know what I find. Ray

Every time I think about installing an aluminum intake on my Mach1 the height of the carb is always an issue because it has a shaker hood. This intake was sold by Ford back in the day but made by some other company, Is anyone here running this on their car with a shaker hood? Any info would be helpful. Thanks, Ray

Almost new radiator that was in my 69 Mach1. No leaks or damage. Made in China. Going out for scrap if nobody wants it. Send me your zip for shipping cost. Thanks, Ray

Picked up dash gauges at a swap meet and repaired the clock. See it on Youtube at https://youtu.be/z86xauRp-vI

Thanks for the feedback about TCI. I haven't found a local shop with any experience rebuilding an older C4. They are willing to do it but have never done one before. Rossler Transmission is just down the road from me but they don't do C4s at all so buying one from TCI seems to be my best bet. Ray

I can use this on my 351W. I will pay the shipping. Ray

I'll keep that in mind about the driveshaft. Sure wish I could get some feedback about C4 trans rebuilders. Ray

Looking for a replacement trans for my 69 351W Mach1. The motor is stock so I don't need anything stronger than OEM. Anyone here ever bought a C4 from TCI? Any other trans rebuilders out there for a C4? Thanks, Ray

I would buy the black mug for sure. Ray
