The Alternator Pulley was marked with;

Service part number D1ZZ-10944-A and stamped Engineering part number D1ZF-10A352-A1A
 

   Machined -vs- Stamped Steel?

We have found two different versions of these pulleys - one in stamped steel and one machined. The best we can tell, it appears that the original factory pulleys were the stamped steel and some of the service pulleys were machined.

Battery

For 1971, Ford offered both a Group 24 and a 27 battery, but the 429 Mustang/Cougar used only the 27F. A correct Autolite Group 27F Battery is shown above, as well as an installed view. The battery tray, hold down, and fender bracket are also shown above. For those wishing to buy the Autolite 24F Battery cover that fits over the top of a standard battery, here are the dimensions of the battery you will need and the post hole locations for the cover to fit;
