Ha. Good catch, Mr. Kucera. Several have had rev limiters since the days of Leaded gas.

OK, in 1970 an RPM Rev limiter came on all Boss cars. It also came on one other engine in a Mustang. What was the engine and what was the RPM it was limited to?
Maybe wasn't clear ? Surely ya'll know by now that I wouldn't be asking questions about (cough) late model Mustangs ?

Perhaps I should have said :

It also came on one other engine in a Mustang in that year. What was the engine and what was the RPM it was limited to?

I only have one remaining. I'd have to scan it. it was taken right after I had it repainted. God, I wish I still had that beast. I sold it in 1985 for $5500. It was a daily driver back then. Sold it cause putting gas in it was killing me (1.56 a gallon back then) plus I was a college puke not making much money then. I think I was averaging @ 8 MPG.

1974! You could only get a 2.3 (pinto motor) or the 2.8 v6 (solid lifter).
