69 427/390 carburetor question

[Brad H.]

Guys,
I have 1969 Vert with a 427/390 and 4spd with a Nov 1, 1968 build date. Was there ever any other Q-jet used on the this engine other than the 7029215? I have not been able to find record of it if there was one. If there was on the very early 69's what was it?
Thanks very much,
Brad

No other carburetor I am aware of. At model change-over, strange things can happen, though. For example, the 1968 L-36 carb could have been used for very early 1969 L-36. I doubt that it happened for carbs because carbs are tied to emissions regs and emissions regs are tied to model year. Emissions regs were in their infancy then but, nonetheless, they probably would have prevented a carb model year carry-over.
