How do I correctly ID a Real RAIII RAIV airhorn compared to the basic grocery getter airhorn that seems to be the typical pieces on most carbs?
I can not locate any information on the internet how to get a real good image of the specific ID characteristics of them.
As far as stamping information numbers, certain markings, Holes or and unique air passages, S/N or P/N on them.
I have a

They will have a deep recess around the accl pump to accept the rubber boot and retainer starting sometime in the 1968 model year run.

Many non Ram-Air tops will be flat in that area, or much shallower and narrower recess.  Only a real Ram Air top will accept the boot and retainer without modification.

They also lack the primary POE system found on most of the non Ram-Air Pontiac carbs used in 1969 and 1970, so it's easy to spot a 1969-70 non Ram Air top.......Cliff

This seems like the one I have w the deep recess.
Perhaps I can send image sp you can give opinion on it.
I have the 69 Firebird RAIII W 400 HO engine.
And I ordered parts to mod my current non RA airhorn unit Q-jet).
So Is there a reasonable cause to put this RA airhorn on my 7029263 body while doing this mod as to possible gain performance?
It is currently on a 29273 full carb so not sure mixing it is the best choice.
Thx

Cliff Ruggles:
Many non-RA tops will be recessed, but only a real RA top will be machined large enough to hold the rubber boot and retaining ring.  They are very rare tops.

I would NOT recommend mixing and matching parts, lots of reasons and there is no real performance advantage in doing so......Cliff
