Muscle Ford restoration aide and parts ID

There are basically three different snorkels to cover this range of engines and years.

The first was used on 68 and can be identified by its just under 9 inch length and large 2 3/4 inch hole on the bottom for the heat stove and the lack of a vacuum motor over ride. This is a C8AZ-9A626-A and was used on 68’s made before 4/2/68.

 

The second was used from mid 68-71 on cars builtfrom 4/2/68 and is identical to the first one but has a vacuum over ride motor on the bottom. This is a C8AZ-9A626-D

 

The last  is a less common snorkel that shares all common characteristics of the first except has a small 2 inch hole on the bottom for a paper hose. This is a D0AZ-9A626-A

Special Notes:

289/302 snorkels are often confused with 351W snorkels but it is easy to tell the difference. The 351 snorkel is just a little longer and the difference is where the flange is welded to the end. The 351 is slightly longer and can easily be seen from the bottom where a 289/302 has a small raised limiting bump and the 351 has a large one. This bump was to help the assembler make the snorkel and limits how far in the flange could be inserted.

D0AZ-9A626-A

Please note that there has a been a correction on this page as I had reversed the identity of the C8AZ-9A626-A and D. I am sorry if this has caused any inconvenience. Thanks, Tom
