Topic: 1971 429 Alternator Splash Shield

I took a look at the 71 I have here close by my shop....its built in October 70 and no signs of the shield, if it was ever there.  Car has been sitting since the 1980's so its not impossible that it came off a long time ago.  No luck here....

Being an early car it might not have had one - My December one (as mentioned) didn't have the mounting holes for it.

The engineering number for the D1OZ-10317-A is D10B-10317-AA.

Where did you find that engineering number, Marcus?

A useful source has been able to provide me with original engineering drawings for both the D10B-10317-AA and D1ZB-10317-AA shields. They are indeed very different, but at least both drawings describe the thickness as 0.075". I can get 0.080" material, which is close enough to be indistinguishable.

Scott,  Its from a Master Cross Reference List....do you not have one of these?

[sah62]

I have several, and as I noted in the original post I don't see it listed in any of the them. Which one (which date?) were you looking at?

[Anghelrestorations]

Scott, I dont know at this point exactly which one it was since I have a stack of them, but at this point means I have to go thru all the books all over again.  If you dont think the number is correct let me know why, but otherwise I dont see the point in going thru the whole exercise again.  Dont take it the wrong way, just trying to be realistic here.

Marcus, I'm only asking because I'm thinking about making a $1,000 investment in reproducing a part and I'd really like to be sure that the details are correct by confirming them myself. The D1OZ-10317-A/D1OB-10317-AA numbers aren't  listed in any of these cross-reference manuals:

Volume 4, October 1971
Volume 4, October 1972
Volume 4, April 1975
Volume 5, October 1975
Volume 5, April 1976

If I can't confirm the numbers and applications I'm not going to reproduce the part.

[Anghelrestorations]

Well, if you put it that way then I guess I better help....

You need Volume 3, April 1971 so you can see this.

You need Volume 3, April 1971 so you can see this.

Thanks!

[Anghelrestorations]

No problem.  So now you HAVE to make these.....and I guess I will need to look at buying a 71 so I can put it on there.

This is what the D1OB-10317-AA shield allegedly looks like. Has anyone seen one like this?

Hmm very different look than what is posted over on the 429CJ site

[sah62]

Yes, but they're two different parts, Jeff. From what I can figure out the drawings posted on the 429 megasite describes the later D1ZB-10317-AA shield.
