RE: Original hex-nuts had integral star-washers. We sell 'em. [n/m]

By Bill Brady - 04/05/2002 12:43:58 AM; IP 68.82.44.157

I've heard from various parties that the shakers were held down by hex nuts, but I have period road tests of ram air Torinos that show the same, semi-oval wing nuts that Ford used on normal air cleaner lids. Also, my 351 shaker equipped '71 Brougham had these wing nuts when I bought it in 1986, and it was so untouched that it still had the original Autolite distributor cap and belts in place. I realize that Kent's question deals with an FE shaker on a Mustang, but was there a difference for the 351's and 429's in Torinos? Also, is there documentation that's out there that I've missed that will convince me (other than info from AMK)? Although I know Ford didn't always have a better idea, I've always had a hard time believing the company would sell a car from that era in which you couldn't remove the air cleaner without a wrench.

This thread, so far...
