artinist Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 the same way the vent brings in air to the inside of the car. the area near the windshield wipers is under positive pressure and forces the air inside. same situation if you have a vent in the hood in that area, while driving, air will be pushed under the hood. but when the car is stopped, the hot air will just come up from that area.

zactek Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I've had the vents off the older 280's. They're too big, wrong angle, too flat for the hood, and don't go with the lines of the car, not to mention letting too much water under the hood in the wrong places.

I think these will fit. i think they are from an 86 ford thunderbird. but not all had them. http://www.geocities.com/thunderchicken86/...ers/tcdside.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksweet Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 I have a pair of hood louvers from a mid '80's chrysler turbo car. They are the ones I would use. They will fit flush and would require professional installation but will sit flush, look good and properly positioned help keep underhood temp's down and HP up.

Conquest351 Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hey dawg, I think I got that pic a while ago. I may have deleted it to save room on my e-mail account. If you wanna send it again feel free but use Conquest351@hotmail.com . Laters, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCN1969 Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I sent a pic of the vents I have on now to Conquest 351, don't know if he got 'em tho............ :-/ Are they the ones in the picture you sent me a while ago? Not very close look at them, but they just look like holes cut in the hood, have you put any mesh in there to stop debris getting in? Also just noticed the center of your grill is missing! http://mysite.freeserve.com/gallerys/Cars/Worldwide/Zactek3.jpg Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zactek Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Yep, that's the pic. They ARE vents, with gills similar to the pieces right before the windshield. That pic is a lot darker than I remember :-/. Mesh on those vents is unneccesary. And yes, the middle of my grill is gone, the two end pieces are held together by mesh. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCN1969 Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Hey Zactek, Here is the other picture you wanted me to post, you didn't need to e-mail it to me again, you could have just remote linked from my site! If you take a picture of the vents from closer, or under the hood and send it to me, I will put that one for you as well! Here it is anyway: http://mysite.freeserve.com/gallerys/Cars/Worldwide/Zactek.jpg P.S. I haven't changed the picture apart from reducing size. I can try to lighten it up if you want! Martin.
