Breather tube color/finish on 70 Judge Ram Air III
Anyone able to post a picture of their breather tube that runs from the passenger side valve cover to the lower ram air pan? Anyone know paint or coating to apply to be factory correct? Mine is somewhat rusted/discolored and I would like to refinish it. Thanks for your help! Jimmy

I've attached two pictures. One of an original Ram Air IV and another from a restored Ram Air IV. You can see that the original car appear to have a natural steel colored breather tube running from the valve cover to the air cleaner assembly. However it is most likely that the black paint to protect the steel has been worn away. It is believed that these tubes were painted black and most concourse restorations paint them. The second picture shows the painted vent tube.

If you really want to get technical it was painted a greenish steel color. I have a couple NOS ones with the part number sticker on them and they are definitely not black or steel colored.

Regardless, an NOS air cleaner will have the clip plating/color of the year produced. |

I don't think the greenish color is paint, I think its some kind of plating (zinc or tin) with a chromate conversion added to prevent white rusting.

Anyone have one for sale? Sounds like I probably could never get mine back to the correct finish. Thanks, Jimmy
