Throttle Cable and Coil Brackets
« on: April 29, 2018, 07:04:45 PM »
Can someone please advise the correct color and finish of the throttle cable bracket and the coil mounting bracket on a 1970 428 CJ R-Code Dearborn built mustang.
Also would like to know if the intake air filter housing bracket that comes off the engine is black or Ford blue?

I'm not positive mine are original, but the coil and throttle brackets look like P&O while the shaker bracket looks like black paint.

A picture from the following thread might help you out

So that should answer the coil bracket and the shaker to intake support. The throttle bracket from my understanding would also typically be P&O

Hope this helps

There was a recent discussion on the 428CJ forum about the 70 CJ throttle bracket.  P&O for originals, and it appears that service replacements were painted black.

I can't really tell from the pic but are you saying the shaker bracket is also P&O?

Appears to be semi-gloss black (may be dipped) finish, to me

OK, so I guess mine is correct then. ;) Although I can't tell if dipped or sprayed or gloss. Funny what 48 years will do...

Thanks for all the input guys, I suspected the coil and throttle brackets where P&O but wasn't sure about the shaker support bracket, but will be finishing it in semi-gloss black.
