Phil,

That cover is unique to the 1969 engine - later engines are completely different in regard to the PS pump.

You learn something everyday...I thought they dropped that system when they switched from the 462. Why would it be unique to the '69 engine?? They introduced the engine in 1968, the '68 T-bird 429 engine I have is a standard pump.Did they revert after a year and then return to an external pump??

I think in 1970 they developed a good front mount system to drive all the accessories so they dropped the crank driven pump--it did work good tho!!!Up til then as more and more accessories got added to cars, the number of belts, pulleies and bracketry just kept growing---they came out with one large cast bracket that simplfied the system as more and more cars had power steering, a/c, etc
