My car might be a tribute and will never ever be a real Hertz, but being the ever fussy one. I am always trying to improve on what I have to make it even more correct. I just got a new carb for it. Holley have reissued the correct carb for the 66 Shelbys, it is a 715cfm Lemans carb....take a look.

when it arrived it had a broken fitting but the supplier has sent a replacement, so should be right to fit in a week or so!

the housings on the front of the float bowls are they fuel filters ?..

66 Hertz · « **Reply #267 on:** November 01, 2012, 12:37:10 pm »

Pete these carbs have whats called LeMans bowls.............They incorporate a centre pivot float mechanism instead of the float being mounted across ways like a conventional carb. I believe this to have been designed to help eliminate fuel surge whist cornering at high speed on the early GT350 race cars.

interesting, Shelby went to a lot of trouble no to mention expense to solve his fuel surge problems, All you need now is a shelby data plate and you'll be set.....

mwizz · « **Reply #271 on:** November 01, 2012, 08:51:28 pm »

Can't wait to see it fitted

66 Hertz · « **Reply #272 on:** December 03, 2012, 10:10:55 am »

Whilst up at Uraidla today I had the renowned Custom Car Artist Aden Jacobi draw my car. It took Aden about an hour and a half to complete........I love it, can't wait to frame it & hang it....

mwizz · « **Reply #273 on:** December 03, 2012, 09:12:55 pm »

That's one for the man cave. Brilliant work for an hour and a half.
