The notch in the dash appears to have been cut.what does this tell you about the car? that it is indeed a 65?

All 64-65 with standard instruments were straight- the optional instrument cars were stamped with the curve.

I will look on ebay for 65 dash clusters......Not saying i'm going to get one yet.......Just looking......

Well, this is what you're looking for:

Question.......Will that Arvinode Exhaust work on a convertible? This car has a thick steel plate bolted under the driveshaft that i would suspect is a convertible only thing.The pipes have to run through this...

Oddly, ALL 64-73 Mustang exhaust was made to fit convertibles, even the exhaust on cars that didn't come as convertibles, such as BOSS Mustangs.

Quote:

Also remember this is NOT a Mustang but a T5 would that Arvinode Exhaust be found on a T5?

I suppose that depends whether German dealers used the whole option list.

Probably, but even I could weld that like new pretty easily, and I don't do much welding these days.

just on a note ... from what I know the T5s were only sold in Germany, nowhere else. So for that I wouldn't be surprised if they came with km/h instead of mp/h speedo .. maybe that's why it was changed ?!

He could always put one of these on the standard speedo:

Here we go again….I need some of your knowledge…..I will become a K code specialist when I’m done….I hope..

Anyway here is my problem.
The waterpump that came off this car is not the same as the one I ordered for a K code. It seems I have the wrong timing cover so I went ahead and removed it. I want to put on the correct parts.

What do I have here and what do I need so I can start locating the correct parts?
