|
wonderfull title, isnt it?
Any way, I have found a Fiberglass hood off a z28 and it has the flaps that open with the throttle, but all the linkages and everything is gone. I plan to put the hood on this week, but I wanted to know what it would require to make the flaps work?
Thanks guys! |

That hood won't fit on your car. It won't clear the air cleaner on your TBI setup.
you should give it to someone who can use it *caughmecaugh* who has a carburated car.
just foolin ya....good score. I used to have that same hood on my 84 sport coupe and later my 85 Z/28. I wish I'd kept it.
you could make them like butterflies on a carb and run a cable to the end of it and then route it somewhere on your dash? _________________

That was so mean, I thought you were serious!
Lol, is it possible to make the flaps work with my TBI? |

yeah, I've just been wanting another one for some time so I can get of the flat steel one I have on my car.
it probaly wouldn't have as much "ram air" effect unless you had no air cleaner on or had an open element style air cleaner. I really don't know if the "butterfly" idea would work practically, it was just the first thing that came to mind. _________________
