Red or orange pie tin?

[69”WannaBee”451]

I’m turning my 69 Coronet into a Super Bee clone (keep your opinions to yourself). It’s a factory A/C car and I know the air cars had the 330 horse 383 and were painted turquoise. I was always under the impression the turquoise plants had a red pie tin. I just ordered an unsilenced air cleaner and I want to get the correct color pie tin.

Orange with a turquoise engine?

Yes, unless someone says different. Check out NicksGarage, he has some information about these….

That says nothing about the correct color pie tin for a SH orange or turquoise engine. I know all about the correct usage of the pie tins, I want to verify the correct color for each engine color.

I'm calling red. Except for the Hemi, Sixpack and hood induction cars.

Sorry that did not help you, I thought for sure that it would of. From what I read there it says they were red until early 69, then in late 69 they went to orange. I hear it depends on the build date of the car, and it doesn’t matter but then I hear that if it has AC it would say 4 barrel on it. Technically I don’t think there is a real definite answer. There is this post here also that can MAYBE help….

Pie tin color

Otherwise I hope we can get more people to chime in here to get a definite answer.
