Topic: Dearborn Mach I build date subtle changes

[rayms69]

my actual build date 10-20-69. For some reason i thought it was a 10-28-69 build date. was there subtle changes between the 20th and 28th. i was talking with bill at mansfield and there were some changes around that time, im pretty sure the conversation was about getting the right kickdown rod for my car. the one i got from him does fit, so i think i effed that one up. I thought he said the 26th was the change day. I think i will call unless somebody has an idea.

A little slow today so bare with me please

So we have a 10/20 built Dearborn car and you're looking for info on the kick down mechanism?

You believe there was a change in the whole assembly or in one part of the assembly?

What engine are we discussing since the assembles are different

428 scj automatic, sorry. yes there was a change around that time, i am wondering if there was a change made between the 20th and 28th. the build date was crucial to bill at mansfield, pretty sure i told him mine was built on 28th. my kickdown i ordered does not work. maybe there was a different kickdown intended for my car.

Hmm being a subtle change and on a year where they didn't build allot of these cars (compared to 69 I would suggest you look over at http://www.428cobrajet.org/id-kickdown, if you have not already,  a great website what focuses just on these cars. They are more likely to have experience with the change or the lack of one that our small population of 70 CJ owners here.
