hood scoops

[demoncar71]

any body not cut the fresh air holes in their hood? I am thinking about not doing this

WHY NOT ? COOL AIR IS GOOD

This is what I did:

I am installing dual hood scoops on my 1972 Dodge Dart, but not cutting the fresh air holes. Keeping the dirt out of the engine bay.

 

[res1vw21]

well since they are factory and let the hot air out, I cut them in

 

[MassDuster]

there's someone on here that sells the rubber seal kits that helps keep rain water, etc out of the engine bay. do a search, it should come out. I just picked up a set, will be installing a dual snorkel scoop on my 73 duster soon...

I've never cut the holes, myself.

First Place Auto Products sells a plastic template to line up peg holes and for the large vent hole. Just pulled out my template today and it looks like a perfect placement locator.

Good luck

My original Demon in '71 had them and the engine bay was filthy in less than a month....Michigan weather $uck$. My current Demon will never have them. I thought about glueing the seals on the hood to look like their functional...:dontknow:

I had the same thought for installation of the factory scoops on my 70 Dart. I was thinking that I would glue the scoops to bare metal and paint everything to cover it up.

Why don't you want to cut holes in your hood? ? Alternately you could get a glass hood with a scoop couldn't you?

100 degrees drop is 10 hp. My bud told me that when I was a kid.

I'd be worried that one of them would come through the windshield at speed?
