[Dr. Eric M. Schiffer]

Here is something else you can never trust. From the same brochure that has the the 1968 December "Hot Rod" magazine Judge I bring you the 1969 LeMans and Firebird 350 HO cars. Look closely and you will see what looks like a hood tac on the passenger side. Look at in pictures of the engine compartment too. You will see a heater tube going to the hood scoop too.

Now if you go back to the test of Royal Pontiac's 1969 Firebird 350 HO race car you will also see this scoop on the hood.

The standard ram air for the 350 HO like the four inlet Ram Air IV option never appeared.

I hope you alos noticed that the Ram Air IV air cleaner in the prior two Judge posts had alos been air brushed to look simular to the production version. It looks like very tall foam.
