Factory faper found wrapped in wires

zach0 · 08-04-2002, 04:20 PM

I was pulling all the wires out from the dash when I found a half dry wroughted paper in some wires. I carefully rolled it out and read a trans code on it that said C6. I decoded the VIN and it says I have a C-4 and the VIN on the paper matched the VIN on my car. Any insight anyone?

What is a "wroughted paper"?

Rev · 08-04-2002, 07:32 PM

Personally, I think it was just a mistake. I've never heard of a '66 that came with a C-6. I think even the Shelby Hertz came with a C-4 (correct me if I'm wrong).

Yup, the C6 was used on the big block high torque engines ie... 390,427,428,429

But Zack0's is a '66 with a 289. No big blocks in '66 Stangs anyway.

I agree Rev. Its gotta be something else I wish that mine would show up somewhere, i've looked everywhere ( including the headliner ) oh well some have all the luck.

Well, I'm jealous. I've gone through miles and miles of wiring, and I've NEVER found a Factory Faper!

Take care,

Ok, I've heard that a very few '66 mustangs came with a c6, but when u decode the vin, it shows a c4. I know this because for a while, I thought I had one. So I did some, well, a friend did some research, and found this out. If u go under your car, and look at the oil pan, u can tell. A c4 has a square pan, but a c6 has a little arm come off, I think it's the front part.

It will look like this:

______
| | ^
| | |
| | Front
----------

^
|
C4

___
| |
____| | ^
| | |
| | Front
| |
------------

^

C6

Or at least something like that-lol

Does anyone like my art?
