I own an original fully documented 429 CJr with c5 auto. It has a rev limiter, I've spoken to the original owner and he remembers disconnecting it to try and get a few more rev's out of the engine.
I have seen several other CJ's with the Rev limiter, and there are several reference books that indicate the rev limiter on these engines.
There were two casting numbers for the rev limiters, one was for the 'S' engine and one for the 'T' engine. The 'S' and 'T' indicate the two types of heads used on the 429, one for the CJ and one for the SCJ.
I never realized so much discussion could take place about these parts, and I have never doubted that they should be on all CJ and SCJ engines. I know a lot of cars today do not have them, but then again these cars are 29 yrs old, and people removed a lot of parts that restricted performance back in the early 70's.
I also wonder if FORD stopped putting some of these items on the cars during later production as the Cobra Jet program was being dropped?? Just a thought.
