1970 Cyclone Spoiler SCJ

[Charley Lillard]

The lower pic that Lee posted is the first time I have seen a rim that might match my spare. Spare has never been mounted and if you compare the center caps they mount differently. 429 SCJ you are the closest expert in the room ?

What I'm guessing is the orig. carb was in the trunk with a new float bowl added. The old bowl was also there.

429SCJ where do these tags go ?

Judging by your spare and the build sheet, it looks like the car had the basic 14x7" steel wheels with conventional pop-on hubcap and trim ring. The hubcap is a later version of the '63-'64 era Mercury cap but simpler, stamped without "Mercury" lettering. I assume the wheel is the same as found in '70 Mach 1 Mustangs of that year. The 14x7 "Styled Steel Wheel" option was listed at $36.90. It was a new design with 5 slots versus the 12 slot '68-'69 14"x6" wheel your car seems to be fitted with. Center cap design was the same, snapping to the inside of the recessed bolt circle as opposed to outside the nubs of the conventional steel wheel. These wheels were also offered as a no cost option on 1970 Mach 1 Mustangs for just that year but continued to be offered by Mercury on Cougars in 1971. (Last photo is a '63/'64 era Mercury scripted cap of mine mounted on a Rocket chrome reverse wheel just for reference)

No "c":

steve honnell had a cyclone spoiler identical color to this one back in the late 80's. he offered it to me at a bargain price but I was buying a trans am he owned and only had a single car trailer. I always wished I had went home and turned around and went back for it.

Which wheels are correct?

[big gear head]

The lower tag goes on the rear end, but doesn't seem to match your gear ratio. It shows a 9 inch rear end with a 3.50 gear and Traction Lock differential. I believe your car has a 3.91 gear, so this tag would be from another car. Check your rear end and see if it still has the tag on it.

Carb is correct just need a Ford front bowl, the top tag is correct too 829A for a 429 SCJ "C" Code. All 429 1970 Cyclone Spoilers were C code, not "J" even though it was a Ram Air car, weird how Mercury did things. Big Gear Head is correct the bottom axle tag is not correct it would have a 3L91 not 3L50.

I have the front bowl.
