you know how Fords all seem to have had Autolite carbs? Well, it turns out that the 429 CJ in the 1970 and 1971 4 speed was topped with a Quadrajet
this one was found in a little swap meet in Royal Oak Michigan, for 6 bucks.
Turns out that it's got a Ford part number, and it might as well be made of unobtainium. See, a brand that Ford wouldn't use, when they own their own carb company, makes it worth serious money to restorers of 1971 Mustangs, Torinos, Cougars and Montegos 4 speed with out air conditioning
