Another question.. I was prepared to buy the fitted hood pad and read that the Ram Air cars did not have a hood pad (in fact, it is printed in the Ames catalog I believe). So I ended up not buying one because of that.

However, I have a friend with a 67 that has ram air, and he has a hood pad on his (none of it is original). I actually like the way his looks with the hood pad on and the ram air setup. So I dont know if I should do it or not.. Whats your take on it? Did you put the pad or for looks or function? And does the pad help fill out some of the gaps and holes that Im sure will be there when I install the pan without it?

Im going to look at your photos now. Thanks for the reply!! And also, thanks for the info on the breather pipe! Gonna order that tomorrow!
