RAM air question

I have a '72 Gran Torino sport witha 351-C, on my hood scoop, I am missing the little flaps that sit inside of the holes, i wanna eventually get a set for it. Thats not what i wanna ask though. Last week one of my friends asked me if my car was equipped with RAM air, how can i find out if it was? i have no air hoses going into the air cleaner and the bottom side of the hood is bare, just the metal. Can anyone fill me in?

RAM air question

Heya Randy ,
The Ram Air option for 72 wuz extremely rare . I know of only a handfull of 72's with this option . Here's a link to some pics of a 72 setup .

Randy,
Other than pcv hoses you should have an accordion-like flexible duct attached to the snorkel that is connected to a two-piece molded plastic duct that is attached to the inner passenger side fender.

RAM air question

Ok i have no air intake hoses at all, and there is no room to the front of the car for one... is it possible to hook a pvc hose to my hood scoop?

Randy,
I think I may have confused you. PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. These are hoses that typically originate from the valve covers and tap into the side of the air cleaner base.

Do you have a stock air cleaner assembly? Perhaps you don't. See the link for info.

yes you did confuse me with PVC, i do have the stock air assembly and i have the pvc thing there. So is it possible for me to make an accordion duct hook up to my air scoops on the hood?
