'69 Ram Air pan question
I'm a '68 GTO owner but found this pan in the trunk of my car when I bought it. I think it's an original part but I know they are being reproduced now. All I need to know is if there is any significant difference or way to tell this from a repop pan. Any markings etc.? I just sandblasted it this morning and plan to paint it. Don't know yet what I'll do with it after that.

Greg:
Another reason that is probably an original is the remnants of the seal shows tear drop shaped holes (around the preheat hole) It has only been in the last few years that the correct shaped foam seal was reproduced. The previous reproduction had round holes and correct original GM’s have not been available for 25+ years. Brian |

Thanks, I knew I came to the right place. If I do decide to sell it in the immediate future, I'll let you know Uncle Judge.

RAM AIR FOAM AND CARB TUB
TRY WARPATH RESTORATION PARTS OR EBAY UNDER SELLER RAMAIRBRI. THAT PAN MAY NOT BE A ORIGNAL. THE 69 REPRODUCTION CARB PAN HAS THE PROVISION TO USE A HOLLY CARB. THE 70 PAN HAS A HOLE IN IT FOR THE CARB VENT TUBE.

This pan does have the vent hole. It's right next to the thermal sensor. Unless I'm mistaken about the purpose of that particular hole. It has a rubber stopper in it in this photo. There's another rubber stopper on the breather as well. It's at about the 7 o'clock position in this photo.

I've not heard back from any of the people who asked about this pan. Not making any accusations. I've had trouble with topic reply notifications and such. Could be that they are having problems too.
Just wanted to give warning before I put this thing on eVILbay tomorrow night. Thanks again for the information passed on. It was a big help!

Ram Air Foam
Hi Brians I just purchased a new foam seal for the lower pan. I have the old one still on but they are round. It lasted about 15 years. I noticed this tread and wanted to know which way the tear drop faces. The front of the car or the back. Thanks in advance.
