68/69 AIR (smog) question

[George W.]

Did very early '69's (427/390hp) have any very late '68 AIR components?
Pump, valve, hoses?
Or were the '68 items put into inventory and all '69's started with the '69 only components?
Thanks,
G.

Hi George
Some of the early 69 did have the pop up relief valve on the smog. Dated probably late 68.
The only same thing the smog system used for all 427 68's and only the 69 L88 only was the 28296 diverter and hoses. Maybe the 69 hoses may be a different part number but I don't know. Don't have a 69 L88 to compare to.
But the smog hoses are straight.

69 390, 400, 435 used the 29298 diverter and the bracket that turns it 45 degrees and the smog hoses connected to the diverter are bent 45 degrees.

Did you get my reply to you regarding some stuff you may have for me?? That was about 2 or 3 months ago??

Hope the smog question helps.

Hi Grant,
Thanks for the input.
Please re-send the "stuff" list, as I lost a batch of emails.
Thanks,
