If you are trying to duplicate a '68 to early ''69 440 Plymouth (GTX), it's a red "super commando 440." Late '69 switched to the same with orange background. Red ones are cheaper.

68 and 69 Roadrunners engine options were 383/426 Hemi Only 440 option came in 691/2 with the 6bbl only RC

" correct " air cleaner for a 1969 roadrunner with a 440.
Is the A12 6bbl

No 440 4bbl in 1969 roadrunner . Period

You dont need any kind of special aircleaner for a 69 4bbl 440 roadrunner.... cause there isn't one.
Six barrel only.

What they ^^ said. Except the A12, no such 69 bird with a 440.

Thanks everyone. I just put a 440/4bbl in my 69. Didn't realize the 440 that yeat was a 6bbl. I have the 383 air grabber. I have seen 440 base for the air grabber. My car was not the air grabber N96.

If you've got the 383 aircleaner, you could use the top part, put it over a drop base to get more underhood room, and get a 440 pie pan for it.....but you won't fool anybody who knows there was no such thing from the factory.

A ‘69 GTX 440 air grabber base with your same kid will fit (air grabber hood or not)

That's a six barrel all right...... but not a 69. (69 A12 used a bathtub a/c base, and didn't use the coyote Duster decal)
Edit: at least my 440 rr didnt.

Yea this is the one off my 383 that I just set on there for a pic. I ordered a chrome pie pan and will go with that.

There are always exceptions to the “rule”. My ‘69 GTX 440, that I bought, in original condition from the original owner in ‘78, has a red pie pan and a scheduled build date of 06/04.

My fifth one, scheduled build of 07/02 had a red one as well. It's the car pictured in post #2. St. Louis built car. I read about the orange being a mid '69 transition, but I haven't seen positive proof on an unrestored '69 GTX, at this point.

There is absolutely no question that my red one is original. I bought the car from the original owner, unmolested and I’m still in touch with him. Mine is a convert, so it’s also a St. Louis car.

I've owned four '69 GTXs, with build dates from extremely early, to extremely late, and observed differences between the first run, and later cars. The air cleaner color hasn't been one of them.
