New Red 340 air cleaner pie tins avalible @ summit racing.

-
I've got a nice orange one like new in the box and ordered a couple red ones for extras just incase they all become unavailable. Glad to hear they will be remade because there is definitely people looking for them.
 
While people are trying to sell the 80s and 90s repops on here for 300 bucks.
 
I got one on backorder at Classic Industries. I'm not sure what I'm going to get. It will come with my seat covers that take 6 months to make.
 
i ordered mine in June and got it in October. Must be the last of the order. If you need one grab it!
Parts are drying up and it seems manufacturers are not re-popping until there is a large demand, if
at all. Were 68 and 69 the only years that were red?
 
The Summit site indicates that red is correct for 1967-1968 and orange for 1969-1971. Funny thing is that years ago I bought a 1970 340 intake and air cleaner with plate that was left from a guy’s 1970 340 Duster. The plate was red.
I don’t know if his Duster was an early production car for that year.

I'm surprised a lot of parts for our era of cars are still being produced at all. I think it'll keep getting worse until all we can find are with private sellers.
 
I have to disagree with a '69 being orange, here is a picture of my '69 Dart from back then, it's red, and I remember it being red. Having said that, I have argued with people that say the '69 340 was red or blue, not Turquoise. Maybe a red left over from '68, but blue?

Orange painted engines had the orange pie tins? Blue or turquoise had red? Just wondering.
 
And does the red ones turn orange with heat and age? I believe they are silk screened and the paint is not all that thick.
 
It's possible. Just basing it on a red one I have which is extremely aged. It's certainly more like the R6 red paint color VS the oranger R4.
 
I have an air cleaner assembly from a 1970 340 Duster and the tin is red. The previous owner sold the car long ago but couldn’t remember the assembly date of the car. It very well could have been a surplus ‘69 pie tin used in early production of the ‘70 model.
