Title: Boss 429 Alternator Adjustment Brackets, P/S Pump Bracket
Post by: 69SCJQ4.30 on December 17, 2015, 01:46:32 AM

Hi, I am trying to clear some facts up cause I can't seem to find any info or decent pictures on the internet. On a 69 Boss 429 what is the number stamped in the adjustment arm for the alternator? And for the aluminum support bracket on the water pump did it use the standard one that was used on every other mustang, or did it use one of the longer variants that were used on a 68 or 69 T-bird?

Thanks for all help you can provide!!!

Is the XE or C9AE for the P/S aluminum piece? Sorry for the confusion.

I read Ed's post as the "XE" is the early version and later in production C9AE.
