It should be, the Holley 4500 Dominator was first used on the Boss 429 in NASCAR competition and that engine came 1969.

Anyone know the battery location?

Not 100% sure but could be in a compartment in front of the left rear wheel as it is now.

I can't keep from messing with things! I took Tim's (yellowsportswagen) advice and cast the Johan 429 Torino valve covers and detailed the Polar Lights intake. After I cast a set of valve covers I detailed them with bolt heads and pre-drilled the plug holes. I've already built the dry sump oil pan and oil reserve for this project.

Gerald, Gopher Racing makes a sheet with various under hood markings. Sheet 11065. There are some Boss 429 markings but not sure if they are the size to fit the valve covers on your build. They look small but maybe not as small as you would like.
