Hood Styles for Different Models
Short answer: 1967 and 1968 each had two hoods (standard flat and scooped “400”); 1969 had four. There was no unique factory “Ram Air” hood for 1967–68 — that conversion was done at the dealer.
| Hood | Part # |
|---|---|
| 1967 Standard (flat) | 9788846 |
| 1967 “400” (scooped) | 9789418 |
| 1968–1969 Standard (flat) | 9793429 |
| 1968–1969 “400” (scooped) | 9793430 |
| 1969 “400” w/ Ram Air | 9797763 |
| 1969 Trans Am | 5460140 |
- Factory 1967–68 “Ram Air” cars used the standard “400” hood, shipped with closed scoop inserts installed and open inserts in the trunk for the dealer to fit (along with the hood baffle, carb shroud, and seals). So a functional Ram Air hood for 1967–68 is just a regular “400” hood with open scoops. The only purist note: installing the Ram Air hood baffle required the dealer to trim part of the hood under-structure along the right-hand scoop.
- 1969 (except Trans Am) used a slightly different hood when Ram Air was ordered, for the new functional, driver-controlled scoops (a different hood baffle plus a cable-and-flap system operated by a knob under the dash). The Trans Am hood differed from the “400” hood but used a similar cable-controlled scoop system.
- One member disputes the 1969 Trans Am driver-controlled scoops, noting the Trans Ams he has seen had no such provision — that feature is more commonly documented on GTOs.
