These dates are approximate but pretty close. 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

All the A12 cars came with the aluminum Ebrock intake the cast iron came about for a reason , be it cost or Ebrock couldn't make them fast enough , but that was for 70 and later .

It could be a case of some one changing intakes during the cars life or the Alum. one was stolen as was with the 1st A12 Runner. I agree that they should of all had the Alum. intake.

Mopar marketing back then was horrible about getting the word out to the public and the dealers about new muscle cars Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

SOME early 70 models may have had alum intakes hey all had alum intakes ...
