I goofed up about a year ago. I sold the original bracket to my W-30 not thinking about the date code. It is a little silly being worried about a date code on an A/C bracket but if i can find the correct one for a good price I will get one. It is the lower cast iron bracket with 398682 on it, the one that bolts to the front side of the head. It must have a date of 250 to 300 on it, 285 would be perfect. I can buy one or trade something for one.

 

I will look tomorrow,but I might have sold the last one this summer.

 

I found a 398682 D-7 but with a 315.
Came on a 70 455.

I may have a few more, I will check.

 

315 is a little late. the newest part on this car was an exhaust manifold and it is 300. the car is second week November. Thanks for looking.

 

I'll check tomorrow, I have a few as well.

 

Just checking if you found a bracket yet, if not I will ask my friend to look for one with the proper date.

I've got a bracket set at the shop for my '72 convertible project. Since my car is far from a numbers matching build, I'll take a look at the casting number for you. If it'll work for you perhaps we can just trade parts so you'll have all the right numbers and I'll still have an AC bracket. Stay tuned!

 

Are the brackets for a 350 the same?

 

Yes, The 350 brackets are the same.

Thanks for everyones help.

 

OK, I have some in storage, I should be able to check on them next week.

 

I think I found you one...
398682 D10 Y, casting date 123.
Early May? I have not seen one
with the Large Y and the little dot
in the branch.

 

I sent a PM but I thought that was a 223 before i sent it. I will hold for a little while till the others look to see what they have. Thanks for looking.

 

Eric, these are the last two I
have that may work for you.
The 1st pic is the 398682 D6
with a 126 casting.

The purdy one is on my 69 455
that I built for my 442 project.
398682 D2 with a 157 cast date.

Let me know, and pm returned,Adam.

 

Does anyone know what the D2 or D9 Y means?

 

Mold number?

 

I forgot to look while we were on the phone yesterday.

 

Hey Jensen:
I checked the 2 AC brackets I have in my shop. Unfortunately they have casting dates of 75 and 104; too far outside your date range. I would have gladly made a trade with you if I could have helped you with the correct number. Good luck with your search.
Rodney.

 

Hello Eric, would this fit the bill...?

 

Or perhaps one of these? Brett

 

That 262 would be just fine. What do you want for it or do you need any parts? shipping would be to 47834.
Thanks

 

Considering you're a good friend of Scotts let me get a calculator to come up with a 'Fair' price...

Anything else you might need? and what would you be willing to trade for this. Which reminds me I need to get a hold of Scott on some other stuff. Perhaps we can make a big bundle? Brett
