![]() Rated at 375 horsepower, the Boss 429 Mustang is now regarded as being among the rarest and most valuable muscle cars to date. It was offered in the Boss Mustang from 1969 to 1970 to fulfill Ford's need to homologate it for NASCAR racing. The 385-series 429 V8 is actually famous for having spawned the Boss 429, a race-spec engine that Ford created as a response to Chrysler's 426 Hemi. This engine debuted in 1967 as a replacement for the iconic FE V8, but it didn't survive for long in this configuration, as it was phased out in 1973. It might as well not excist at all, since the car has had alot of owners and they have been messing with everything.This 1968 Thunderbird here isn't a four-door, but one of those rare Big Birds offered with the optional 429-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 of the 385-series variety. i cant find it at all, have gone through the engine compartment, and under the glovebox. Im having ha hard time locating the other end of this mess of cables, where are they supposed to end up? so where is the safety switch. the ones found in the coupling behind the dash. ![]() This "master" switch has three cables connected to it, the blue, the black/white and the red. This black/white wire is connected to some kind of master switch as i reccon it, the switch next to the lock switch. The blue and the red wire is 0V, but the black wire is 12.5V! my opinion is that someone has wired this faulty in the other end, or is there supposed to be power on the black and white? i took it apart to clean it in case of corrosion and took the opportunity to meassure the voltage. in search for what´s wrong i found a coupling behind the dash, in the coupling there was the blue wire, a black and white and a red wire. Thanks alot for the wiring diagram! ive started to tear down the interior in search for the right wires.Īccording to that wiring diagram and my observation the blue wire must be the power supplier, but its 0V.
