While doing some research on the EGR Valve and Carb. Spacer, I stumbled across this statement on Fordramair.com:

"1973 owners with the 351C. For 1973, Ford used an EGR spacer plate under the 4V carb which will prevent the use of ram air."

Over the years I've managed to collect all the OEM components necessary to install RAM Air with the anticipation of installing it on my 73 351C 2V.

Does anyone have more info on which model year and engine / carb size works or doesn't work with RAM Air?

If you have RAM Air successfully installed, please post model year and engine / carb combination, and/or any comments about the install / fit.

Thx

I have an aftermarket Ram Air on my 1973. The engine has a Blue Thunder intake which sits about an inch higher than stock and I don't have a problem closing the hood.
