Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics

[Charley Lillard]

Buzilla..Does Ram Air Restorations have a web site ? Paceme..The one cylinder was pretty pitted so it will need to be bored.

Your orig. manifolds will be a 5 bolt. RA resto makes the 5 bolt SD, as a repro. The RAIV & 455HO 70-2, had the three bolt design.

Thanks... I am still looking for web sites of suppliers for the stuff I am gonna need for this thing.....Micky...I have no idea what I am doing. No plan, just had to know what was wrong.

Charley,
Look here to find some info on SD TA's.

Alot of it is reprinted from books I have.
He shows the "webbing" on the block. That is only on SD blocks.

So Charley, in relation to the earlier question about TA A/C dash details, is your SD car equipped with factory or dealer-installed A/C? (It being a Seattle car, factory A/C isn't nearly as common here as other places.) Do you have PHS or original documentation for the options? Thanks.
TOM

I have the PHS Paperwork and it shows the Factory AC. I scanned it but it is too big to post.

Cool. I recall reading about a '73 SD Formula that had factory A/C as well. As I recall, he tried to order it with A/C and a 4-speed, but they wouldn't allow that combination. He opted to keep the A/C and get an automatic. (If I'm off-base here someone can correct me.)

Good Call on that web link Bandit! That's the one I remember pouring over for couple of hours a couple of years ago. There's also a cool SD-455 engine article in a 73/74 issue of HP Cars magazine (If I remember correctly, the one w/ the "cartoon'y" reddish 73 GTO on the cover).

As for the 'Intern' thing, I think I could talk my advisor in the AET (Automotive Engineering Tech) dept. to allow me to get credit for it..sure beats the hell out of beta testing diagnostic scan tool software for OTC here in MN.

Just trying to help out a Chevy guy...with his Pontiac.
