    Radiator Support-to-Air-Deflector Seal, P/N C5AZ-8327-A

    I bought something from MacsAutoParts that I either will not need on my 1964 Falcon, or it goes somewhere I am unfamiliar. I probably thought I needed it, but maybe the other seal below is the 1964 equivalent.
    Macs lists it for 1965 and up Fords. If someone can use it let me know or maybe one of you can tell me where on the car it goes. Macs could offer little help in locating its position on the car.
    BTW, I installed the Radiator Support-to-Hood seal (P/N C4DZ-16A238-A), which my car does use.

    It does the same thing and goes in about the same place as your C4 part number.  The only real difference is that the C5 part is longer (it's for the full-size cars) and attaches in a slightly different manner

    Oh yeah............that gets trimmed-to-fit and glue it on top of the radiator support.
    It seals the hood to the rad support to aid in cooling. Forces the incoming air thru the radiator and prevents the air from flowing over the top of the rad between the hood and support.
    I had one.....................took it off.....cause it looked hokey (IMO)

    Okay. I bought something I did not need. I'll hold onto it until I meet someone who owns a full size Ford. BTW, the part comes with push buttons (x-mas trees that require holes to be drilled) to hold it in place instead of glue.
    My C4 part is held in place with heavy duty staples. I had to drill 1/32" holes for the staples. It may have been an option back in 1964 or used on certain drive train configurations., since I do not remember my Falcon having one. I have owned it for 28 years.
    Thanks for the good responses.
