Ford 429 CJ Quadrajet

Cliff Ruggles:
Here's something you don't see too often, a rare Quadrajet for a Ford application.

In 1970-71 Ford used Quadrajets on the 429 Cobra Jet engines.  They also had a special spread bore intake for them, which is a really nice part if you are a Ford guy.

I just restored one in the shop and thought I'd put some pictures of it up here.....Cliff

2 questions: Did Ford drill small holes in the secondary POE tubes? Were there different numbers for the stick and automatic 429CJ carbs also with or without a/c?  Thanks

mcx:
...beautiful job!!   Does that  Ford version use a APT in its faceplate?  Could you provide the factory recipe that Ford used on it?

Cliff Ruggles:
It is an APT carb. 

They used a pretty good calibration, small airbleeds and plenty of idle fuel to the mixture screws. 

There were different part numbers for auto and manual trans models, and the auto carbs are easy to spot as they have the long arm to operate the C-6 transmission.......Cliff
