It is not a ram air piece but I have a modified piece you can have for shipping cost.

Scarebird: I'm looking for a 71 455HO throttle bracket as well. If notime does not want your modified bracket I would take it. Thanks, KK

I see an accelerator cable bracket for a 1971 Ram Air application in the OPGI GTO catalog. Part #G241070. Has anyone seen this part and is it correct if so?

It's incorrect.

Joe @ the Parts Place had this great idea that early Firebird 4 bbl bracket could be marketed for '71 RA GTO applications. Works for those building a contraption. For a serious restoration, different story.

I've always wondered about the bracket. The Firebird had a dropped base air cleaner. The Formula ram air pan and GTO ram air cleaner are the same. Shouldn't any 1970 or 1971 throttle bracket be the same as 455HO?

This is a photo I saved of a 71 455HO RA throttle bracket.

KK68: this is what I have.

If you have a spare 70-72 wiper switch that would make a nice trade.

Sorry, I don’t have a spare wiper switch.
