March 28, 2026 UPDATE

A few more baby steps this week in getting the Tomato running again. Got the missing choke parts and linkage ordered for the 429CJ Rochester carb as well as getting the fuel pump and temporary fuel line reinstalled on the 460 installed in the car....

I was also looking over the orginal 460 from the car and noticed it had the choke stove assembly installed in the intake similar to what was used on the '70 429CJ engines and I thought "could this possiblt be the same part?" so I pulled it out and did a quick clean up....

I then took it over to the 429CJ intake to see how it fit....

VIOLA... 😍 I think I've found what I was looking for!!

Now to find that elusive throttle solenoid bracket....😖

Until next installment...
