I came here looking for crabgrass preventer but since you don't deal in that I'll check out the website you mentioned and see if there is anything more exciting than lawn care.

Great info pete and good 69 updates as we need more 69 info so someday maybe you can change the name to purplesnake HAHA. I have always wondered about the 424 s to t change but wondered where you got that info as the only change would be when having the orange hose valve under air cleaner wouldnt be part of the engine build at the engine plant but installing the 2 choke heat tubes on rh manifold would be since the 1 would have a T for the short orange hose to air cleaner bottom valve. I often thought the change may be the pistons as there are 3 types between 68 and 70 and some say super on them but what is always missed in the scj engine parts list is the wrist pins (c9oe) # being a thicker wall more heavier design used on scjs . Also the air cleaner base design going from the flat botton type early to later c9ze type with the hump just above the throttle cable (like in your new photo) i always thought this was a clearance design change due to the new 69 automatic kick down rod being attached to the carburator. The water pump pulley was a c8oe change to c8ae bigger diameter pulley and this was a problem when ordering marti belts as i could always tell when a cj or scj had the wrong smog belt justa by looking at the location of th smog pump adjuster as the pump would be all the way adjusted out instead of in the middle of the adjustment slot because of wrong lenght belt because of different diameter pulleys since the smog is also bigger diameter like the 2 water pump pulleys all 3 are bigger on the c8ae pulley. But the c8ae pulley started out on the 69 scjs but was used later in 69 and 70 on the regular cjs and some of these changes showed up in feb 69. Also on pete diagram drawing of the scj oil cooler set up it shows a long c9oe torino upper oil cooler bracket instead of the short c9ze bracket even thou the drawing is for the mustang since the oil lines are both different between the torino and mustang. The longer torino bracket is needed since torino has a taller radiator and shroud.Keep up the good work pete as it helps the 69 shelby owners out since you got everything figured out on the 68 shelbys over the years.

Very Kind of you Ed

I continue to learn from you and many others. There is so much to sort out.

The changes to the engine assemblies, may also be internal, that comes from reading the build sheets and the Cobra Jet forums.

Yes and also engine code changes maybe because of torino scjs used a different carb since the linkage was different no cable like mustang and cougar used.

I think the picture glitch is fixed 

Ed I will make some changes to more accurately reflect your excellent observations
