Cowl vent?

[stevebradford]

I have a very rusty 72 cowl with a functional vent I'm thinking of using for a project. I really like the idea of the vent but have never driven with one. I have a 78 cowl in better shape but in my mind isent as cool.

Does the vent shift a lot of air into the cab while driving?

Was it supposed to be hooked into the heater system?

Yes, the cowl vent lets in alot of air. I like them, but leakage can be an issue.

I think you would be better off with that early windshield frame vent working. Looks like the wrong windshield frame for that year, because it was an either windshield frame vent or a cowl vent. Johnj
