Although this is getting a little silly now.Here's something for thought.

The terms RA 1, RA2, RA3...are not Pontiac terms or references to their prooducts in the 60's. According to Pontiac you had a HO motor or a HO motor with the ram air option. They weren't responsible for the names associated with them. It was Pontiac engine builders, and guys like you and me that call them RAIII's or RAII's. Only in 69' did Pontiac catch on and actually call a engine a RAIV. Until then there were no cars with RA1, 2, or 3 stickers or emblems. You either had a HO motor with the ram air option or you didn't.
Although NOW Pontiac people can endlessly debate subjects such as RAIII's, According to Pontiac in 69' it was a ram air optioned car... Thats it.
