Jim, everything you state as "fact" flies in the face of operating procedures, printed literature, master order sheet, and countless other documents that support the position that there is no such thing as a Ram Air engine, merely an H.O. with the option to add the Ram Air fresh air intake. If you have a Master Order sheet for 1969 that lists RA III as an available option, please share it with us.

It is obvious that you have closed your mind to new information and to logical interpretation of countless items of era-correct Pontiac literature, and to the statements made by those considered to be leading authorities and keepers of the original documents.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but please refrain from stating such as "fact" without explaining how a Ram Air is a Ram Air without the facility to "ram air".

Kurt, the documentation on your site taking us through the birth of an F-body is wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together in such a clear and readable fashion.

Jim, you have stooped to personal attacks and mindless repetition throughout this thread and many others. Don't criticize others for echoing your tone.
