"...Any ideas?"

Yeah, I'll take a shot at it.

The 325hp 400 in a '67 Bird could come with, or without Ram Air.

Looks like the RA version has a higher NHRA hp factor. The current factor for SS looks to still be 360hp.

So, I'd say that if the Stocker was running class A, it was running RA, & the SS Bird was not running RA. Hey, that's my opinion & I'm stickin to it.....unless I find out I'm wrong.

"...Unless it wasnt run as a RA1 when it was R/U in SS/FA=9.50 class at 68 Pomona?..."

All he had to do was plug up the open scoops & run without the RA system.

The lower pic is a close-up of the scoop of the 1st Bird. Looks closed & painted black, to me. The Myrtle Bird is marked SS/EA. Assume it was running RA. OR, it may have just been a different year. No clue.
