Default 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?

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)

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,,,,,

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?
