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.

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.

If it's threaded on both sides you've got the right one.
