1969 TA vent tube
 
Need some help, I need the vent tube that fits in the valve cover passenger side that connects to the lower ram air pan. I have tried Ames, Firebird Central and Year One. No one has the vent tube for the 69 TA set up. They all have one for a ram air firebird but not TA. Does anyone know any other options for me to explore?

I need one also.Tom

That's pretty strange they offer it for the Bird, rather than the T/A
Whole lot more 69 T/A's out there - and being done as clones - than there are actual RamAir 69 Birds.

Good Luck to you guys
71 Ford LTD might be usable

(sorry , that was a bad joke)

Aren’t the lower pans the same in the T/A and the ram air cars?

JAL71TA 02-06-2021 10:13 AM

Yes...bought it the same time I bought the tube and valve cover grommet, The tube is the issue.

Too short then?

JAL71TA 02-06-2021 10:28 AM

I am going to ck it again but it seems too long and its bent for a different hook up. Even the short part that inserts in the valve cover seems odd.

I am going to play with it again about noon. Googling pictures of the engine bay showa a very simple tube with only one bend, looks simple but,,,,,

Mine is close to being right,just not perfect.Tom

JAL71TA 02-06-2021 01:03 PM

Thanks for the pics, let me look at this again and see what I can do.

Appreciate everyones help.

JAL71TA 02-06-2021 01:32 PM

HELD for Ransom...thanks for all the pics, convinced me I had the most correct one and with a bit of mods I got it to work, I was scared to really twist the tube into the valeve cover very deep for fear of hitting a rocker . Once I saw these pics of an orig tube I just decided to twist and let it almost bottom out.

Thanks again for the help.
Is your 69 back on the road?
