ABC's of 80's Cooling Part III.5 - Hood Vents
Just an update on the Sumotoy 80 and a preamble to Part IV...
I installed the drivers side hood vent yesterday, and will be installing the PS today. Yes, I took pics of slicing up the hood for Part IV.
Unfortunately using the Z34 hood vents doesn't look to be a good avenue, I ended up using another type (not sure the app) that doesn't require rewelding of the hood frame. I suspect that the pontiac hood vents I saw posted here might be the 'other' set that could work.
I also put the vents a bit further forward than I really wanted, but I verified it's low pressure zone by driving around with yarn (matching green yarn specifically) on my hood trying to ignore the stares...
Sitting in the truck today with the A/C running, I noticed that welcome ripply hot air coming from the DS hood vent. I'm putting in the PS today, and will get ABC IV up with some data asap.
