This spring supposedly for the ram air cable has been talked about on this forum for years. Neither of my two 69 Judges had this spring nor was there any evidence a spring was used for the ram air cable. I've never seen this on a ram air car, but someone years ago displayed a factory drawing which showed this spring. Both my Judges had hood tach's but still, I've never seen this spring on a ram air car. Never say never so who knows!!
