Little Question

[reghoule]

Hi!

I just want to know if the part that goes on the air cleaner of a 69 Charger (in these case, where it's write 440 magnum) is supposed to be orange or red?? The guy as the parts store told me it was red in color for the 68-69 model years, is that right? I always thought it was red for 68 and orange for 69...

Thanks for your help

You are correct

Red 67-68

Orange 69-71

the early production 69S were red they changed it around Jan. of 69.
mine is red I bought it off the original owner in 1980, I also read something about it to.

I guess it depends on who you talk to.  I've got a copy of the Concours Judging sheet for the Daytona's, and it shows that the pie tin should be the red version.  That doesn't make it the definitive answer, it's just (yet) another opinion of what is "correct".  Sheesh...

Who compiles these "documents of correctness" anyway?

If your engine was originally turquoise, chances are you have a red pie pan.

My '69 SE 383 had a red pan.

Yeah that's what I was thinking...early block in 69 were turquoise with the red pie tin and the late version were all orange, block and Pie?

Since my car was born on January 22th of 1969, should be a late version?

Bye the way thanks for all the answer, I'm pretty sure that It will be orange, since my car has already the 440 painted this color
