TUNNEL PORT RA V

This October 1970 Hot Rod was brought to my attention over on the PY board because of the Hemi Pontiac motor on the cover, I'll post the article on that motor next.

But while looking through the magazine, the staff covered all the 71 cars coming out and evaluated them. Found an interesting mention on RAV.

Do you know if the RAV had a unique oil filter adapter in relation to the IV and the rest of the Pontiac adapters?

[tjs44]

the only reason you would need a special adapter is for castiron exhaust.I would LOVE to know!LOL,Tom

[Steve_Hoog]

There is an angle I'm working on that concerns the adapter. I didn't see one on Brian's parts list, so I was hoping you or Lance would know if there is a special adapter.

Yes I would think manifolds would create a special need, but chances are the IV or HO adapter would have addressed the issue.

I think I used the long branch adapter on the GTO to allow the longer filter.The T/A has a short deck which is completetly diff as the filter screws right onto the block.Tom
